I really don't think so. After Singapore and Japan, there are 6 more races to go (Qatar, Texas, Mexico, Brazil, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi). That is 6*(25+1)=156 points.
There are also 3 sprintraces left, that is another 3*8=24 points, so that means that Max needs a gap of at least 180 points to pull that off.
A win gives 7 points advantage to second place, if he is unlucky 6 (Perez gets fastest lap). He is currently 145 points ahead. If he extends his lead with 2*7=14 points in those races, he has a lead of 159 points with 180 points still up for grabs, so not WDC just yet.
