The Fight for the Title
Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen face off in an epic battle before the last races. But, who will take the victory? Here’s a summary of the exciting contest and the key factors that could define the champion.Current Ranking
After a perfect weekend in São Paulo, Norris leads with a 24-point advantage over his McLaren teammate, Piastri. Both young drivers are seeking their first F1 crown. The current world champion, Max Verstappen, of Red Bull, is 25 points away. George Russell, from Mercedes, is in fourth place, but his mathematical chances of winning the title are slim.Form Status
Norris is undoubtedly the most in-form driver at the moment. After a complicated start to the season, he has achieved pole position and victory in consecutive races, as well as a Sprint victory at Interlagos. On the other hand, Piastri’s performance has declined. The Australian was the favorite after winning the Dutch Grand Prix, but he hasn’t managed to get to the top of the podium since then. This has spurred Norris to take the lead in the battle for the title.
When Could the Title Be Defined?
In the three remaining races, there is a maximum of 83 points available for a driver (25 points per victory) and a Sprint (eight points). Norris couldn’t secure the championship in Las Vegas, as he could only extend his lead to a maximum of 49 points. Therefore, the title could be decided in Qatar, where a driver would need to have at least a 26-point advantage over the runner-up.Four seconds placed in the races and the Sprint would be enough for Norris to be crowned champion, while Piastri and Verstappen depend on the Briton having problems in some race.
