Verstappen declares ‘the chance is there’ for fifth title

Following his commanding performance at the United States Grand Prix, Max Verstappen has expressed confidence in securing a fifth Formula 1 World Championship, stating "the chance is there." His dominant weekend, where he led every lap in both the Sprint and Grand Prix, dramatically reduced Oscar Piastri's championship lead from 104 points in August to just 40 points. Verstappen lauded his team and praised his tyre management as crucial to his success. While Oscar Piastri struggled, finishing fifth, and Lando Norris engaged in a fierce battle for second, Verstappen's relentless pursuit of the title continues. The championship battle now intensifies as Formula 1 heads to Mexico City.
