Can Max Verstappen still win the F1 title this year?

Max Verstappen has dramatically reduced his championship deficit to the two McLaren drivers over the last handful of races.

Max Verstappen currently sits 36 points down on championship leader Lando Norris with four rounds remaining.

The Dutchman has dramatically cut down the deficit to the lead of the standings, as the gap sat at 104 points following the Dutch Grand Prix.

Verstappen entered the Mexico City Grand Prix last weekend hoping to claim a fourth win in five races but endured a more difficult event en route to third, while Norris dominated out front to take hold of the championship lead for the first time since April.

The four rounds remaining on the schedule are Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi - two of which offer extra points due to the sprint format.

But do you think McLaren has enough of a margin to hold Verstappen off, or can the Red Bull continue to eat into the gap and take home a fifth consecutive title?
