Verstappen knows he ‘needs to be perfect’ to win title

Max Verstappen has significantly narrowed the championship gap to McLaren rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, cutting 104 points down to 40 in the last four races with three wins. As the F1 season heads to the Mexico City Grand Prix, the Red Bull driver acknowledges the need for "perfection" until the Abu Dhabi finale to clinch a fifth world title. Despite his impressive record of five wins in Mexico, Verstappen remains cautious, emphasizing that past success doesn't guarantee a repeat on the challenging, low-grip Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit. He expresses anticipation for an intense weekend, focusing on maximizing performance amid the passionate Mexican crowd.
