The German racer had won seven titles in his career and Hamilton surely will leave no stone unturned to win this one. Here are four ways that Max Verstappen could win his maiden title

  1. If Verstappen wins with the fastest lap and Hamilton finishes sixth or reaches the finish line later.

  2. If the Red Bull Racing driver finishes first and the Mercedes F1 driver finishes seventh or lower.

  3. If the Dutchman finished second with the fastest lap and the Brit finishes 10th or even lower.

  4. If the  Dutch driver ends the race second and at the same time the British racer does not score any points, Verstappen will win this one.

  5. If the winner of the title is not decided in this Grand Prix, the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi will act as the decider.
