Five successive victories for Max Verstappen have propelled him to within touching distance of a second consecutive F1 title.

After beating Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where sadly the race ended behind the safety car, the Red Bull driver can now conceivably wrap up this year's championship at the next event in Singapore.

Quite simply, Verstappen has to finish 22 points clear of Leclerc, 13 ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez and be six in front of Mercedes' George Russell.

The smart money says the Marina Bay Street Circuit is unlikely to witness its first title-deciding race and that the championship will instead roll over to Japan, but stranger things have happened.

With Verstappen in such dominant form, overall, your points standings are...
