Daniel Ricciardo’s fastest lap means Max Verstappen can finish 2nd to Lando Norris in all remaining Grands Prix and Sprints, regardless of fastest lap bonus points, and STILL win the drivers' championship

It's not impossible that Lando pulls this off but it requires that Merc and Ferrari don't take even a single race win from him, and Max and Oscar don't either, oh and no dnfs. It's just really unlikely with how this season has gone. He really needs max ro dnf at least once to make it much more likely.
That assumes no cock ups from red bull too, and they've definitely had some bad results in the last few months
I did mention Lando really needs another DNF from Max, which is basically what he needs, a Lando win with Max scoring zero to make it more achievable. However the chances of Max scoring outside the points is about as rare as him having another DNF this season, or him not winning another race all season long, that would be quite the win less streak especially in such a topsy turvy season.
I am not confident of that happening as Red Bull seem to have finally accepted that they went in the wrong direction for car development and have made some good steps to fix it and have a month to work on further fixes.
