6. Alpine | 84 points
7. Williams | 21 points

What does Verstappen need to win the Drivers’ World Championship?

The calendar includes the Qatar Grand Prix as the next test, where Verstappen comes in with 177 points ahead of his teammate Sergio Pérez, who has 180 points available at the remaining circuits of the year.

Max will be champion without a race on Sunday in Qatar, because if he finishes sixth (three points awarded) in Saturday’s Sprint race, he will be champion even if Pérez gets the full eight points.

Seventh place would be enough in the sprint if Pérez is second, while eighth would also give him the title if his teammate is third. If Checo finishes fourth or lower in the sprint race, Verstappen will still be the champion.
