The most even Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship of the past five years will be decided on the 24thy And the last calendar date Which next weekend will be the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, United Arab Emirates, at Yas Marina Circuit Three contenders for the title: Lando Norris (McLaren), Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Oscar Piastri (McLaren).
After the Qatar Grand Prix. The Briton remains at the top of the standings with 408 points, but the Dutchman, with his seventh victory this year, is close to ten and is the new runner-up with 396 points. The current four-time champion snatched second place from Piastri whose performance went from top to bottom and went from dominating the competition to third place with 392 units and a long shot at winning the long-awaited title.
Looking forward to the last day, Norris is counting on himself to win the Grand Circus for the first time in his career, and to do so, he must reach the podium at Yas Marina. If he finishes fourth or at the back, the range of possibilities is open to Verstappen. Who with his victory will win his fifth cup in a row.
There are many possibilities, With Piastri is more limited because he can only take first place in the championship if he wins or finishes second in Abu Dhabi and Norris cannot finish seventh or Verstappen after fourth. An important issue to keep in mind is that in the event of equal units, the final positions will be determined based on races won. The three drivers have seven wins each. However, as long as none of them celebrate at Yas Marina, Norris will collect more second places (7) and have an advantage in this section because Verstappen and Piastri were companions on fewer occasions (5 and 4 respectively).
