Why it’s game on for Verstappen in his title charge

Max Verstappen's recent surge has dramatically reignited the championship battle, closing the gap to leader Oscar Piastri to a mere 40 points. Following his second-place finish in Zandvoort, where he was a significant 104 points behind, the Red Bull driver seemed to concede his title hopes. However, an incredible run of three victories and one second-place finish in the last four Grands Prix has transformed his fortunes. This momentum has now firmly established a thrilling three-way fight for the championship, showcasing Verstappen's immense talent and determination.
