This exceptional display significantly narrowed the gap to McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in the Drivers' Championship. Verstappen has been in stellar form, accumulating 119 out of a possible 133 points over the last five events. He's remarkably reduced a 104-point deficit to Piastri to just 40 points in merely four races, with five Grand Prix weekends still remaining. His current momentum positions him as a serious contender as the season heads towards its climax.
