Max Verstappen says his 2025 F1 title battle is an “unexpected comeback,” revealing he thought he was out of the fight but now feels freer than ever heading into the final races.

F1 next heads to Sao Paulo as Interlagos hosts round 21 of the 2025 season - and the fifth sprint weekend of the year. Lando Norris executed a supreme weekend last time out in Mexico City, winning from pole and in doing so claiming the lead of the world championship from McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.

Verstappen has been been edging closer to the championship lead, but he is still 36 points shy of Norris, and 35 behind Piastri, with 116 up for grabs over the remaining four GPs and two sprints. He has to keep scoring big.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen feels he will need luck and perfection if he wants to snatch his fifth consecutive world championship.
