The three-time world champion, who will be 27 on Sept 30, had his advantage over McLaren's Lando Norris cut from 62 points after the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Sept 1 to a current 52.
The season now has a four-week lull before a United States-Mexico-Brazil sequence starting in Austin, Texas on Oct 20, followed by another final triple-header of Las Vegas-Qatar-Abu Dhabi.
“I think we've got a vein of development and I think we've understood some of the issues with the car. I think we're starting to address them,” Horner said after Verstappen finished a distant second to Norris in Singapore.
“We were better in Baku and (even) better in Singapore.”
