LAS VEGAS – Max Verstappen will become just the sixth man in Formula One history to win four world championship titles if he can see off his rival Lando Norris at the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend.

Red Bull’s three-time champion, who ended a 10-race winless drought by storming to victory in Brazil three weeks ago, needs only to stay ahead of Norris, or keep the McLaren driver out of the top eight finishers, to retain his crown.
