Three races remaining, three drivers with possibilities and a crown at stake for the 2025 Drivers’ Championship.\n\nAfter 21 exciting rounds, full of unexpected twists, the 2025 drivers’ championship reaches its climax and the excitement is at its highest point.\n\nLando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen are vying for the title in an exciting triple event that will define the champion. Who will take the victory?\n\nHere’s a detailed analysis of the championship battle and the key factors that could decide the fate of the season.\n\n\n

How are the positions?<\/h2>\n\n\nAfter a perfect weekend in S\u00e3o Paulo, Lando Norris leads the standings with a 24-point advantage over his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri. Both young drivers are seeking their first F1 title.\n\nMax Verstappen, the current world champion of Red Bull, is 25 points away. George Russell of Mercedes, occupies the fourth position, but his mathematical chances of winning the championship are scarce.\n\n\n

Who arrives in better shape?<\/h2>\n\n\nAlthough Verstappen achieved three victories in four races before the Mexico City Grand Prix, Norris is undoubtedly the most outstanding driver at the moment.\n\nAfter having difficulties with the McLaren car at the beginning of the season, Norris has achieved pole position and victory in consecutive races, including a Sprint victory at Interlagos, going from hunter to hunted.\n\nOn the other hand, Piastri’s performance has declined. The Australian was the favorite to win his first title after winning the Dutch Grand Prix, but he has yet to reach the top of the podium since then, and hasn’t even achieved a podium finish in the last four races.\n\nThis situation has spurred Norris to take the lead in the battle for the championship.\n\n\n

When could the title be defined?<\/h2>\n\n\nIn the three remaining races (with 25 points at stake per victory) and a Sprint (eight points), a driver can obtain a maximum of 83 points. After the next race in Las Vegas, there will still be 58 points at stake.\n\nThis means that Norris will not be able to secure the championship in Las Vegas, even if his rivals do not score points, as he could only extend his lead to a maximum of 49 points.\n\nTherefore, the title could be decided in Qatar, where a driver would need an advantage of at least 26 points over the second-placed competitor.\n\nFor Norris to win the title, it would be enough for him to finish second in the races and in the Sprint. Piastri and Verstappen, for their part, need the Briton to have problems in some race.\n\n\n

        What else is at stake in the final races?<\/h2>\n\nIn addition to the battle for the drivers’ title, with the constructors’ championship already secured by McLaren, the most interesting fight in the last three races is between Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari.\n\nThese three teams are competing for second place in the team standings, crucial for the economic prizes and the boost for next season. However, the lower a team finishes in the championship, the more time in the wind tunnel it is allowed to work on next season’s car. With a major rule overhaul in 2026, finishing fourth instead of second might not be so bad.\n\nAfter a good weekend in S\u00e3o Paulo, Mercedes is in second place with 398 points, with Red Bull, powered by Verstappen, 30 points away.\n\nAfter a disastrous double retirement, Ferrari is fourth with 362 points.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
