Dutchman could emulate Nigel Mansell in 1992 by winning the championship with five races remaining.

He and Red Bull have laid down a marker in 2022, definitively denoting themselves as F1’s dominant force. At race four in Imola he was peerless, opening a run of five wins from six races that concluded with an absolutely unmatchable, commanding masterclass in Canada. If he closes it out he will have done so with a full five races to go, the same buffer Nigel Mansell managed for Williams in 1992. He has 11 wins already from this 22-race season and has barely put a foot wrong in securing them. In 1992 Mansell’s Williams FW14B, “Red Five” as his car was known, was designed by Adrian Newey, the architect of Red Bull’s success, demonstrating a touch for making quick and often beautiful cars he has never lost.

"It's slightly bespoke to Formula 1 and clarifications have been coming even after the submissions were made. I'm certainly not aware of that."

Aston Martin debuted a revolutionary new rear wing in Hungary, but F1's technical regulations for next year will prevent the design from being used.
