Lando Norris has the chance to win his first Formula 1 world championship next Sunday in Abu Dhabi. The Briton relies on himself to win the title, but he will not be able to make mistakes against the current champion. Max Verstappen and McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.
However, any of the three could win and everyone wonders who it will be. Something Fernando Alonso himself has talked about. Although Norris has all this, all three drivers have mathematical options to become champions, something that has not happened since 2010 where the Asturian driver was one of the champions.
“The last time there were three drivers with options in the final race was in 2010. It’s difficult to make predictions, you always think the leader has an advantage because he has a bigger margin in terms of results, but Formula 1 is an unpredictable sport. In my case there was a safety car and not stopping was a mistake, as happened last week. Alonso said in statements to the newspaper: “These things can happen in a Formula 1 race, so nothing is guaranteed even if you are driving the world championship.” witty.
In 2010, Sebastian Vettel became the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history after coming back 15 points behind. To the first two in the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi. Vettel finished third in the title race behind Alonso Webber.
“It’s been 19 years since the best have won the World Cup, and this will be the 20th year.” The Asturian responded with laughter, 19 years after his last Formula 1 title.
