Norris in the lead<\/h2>\n\n\nLando Norris, with a 24-point lead over rivals Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen (tied in points), has the opportunity to secure the championship this weekend.

The weather forecast indicates high temperatures and humidity, which will test the drivers. High temperatures could reach 29\u00b0C on Friday, decreasing to 27\u00b0C on Sunday, with humidity close to 48%.\n\n\n

This week’s highlights<\/h2>\n\n\nLaurence Edmondson explains the reasons for the disqualification of Norris and Piastri due to excessive wear on their cars.\n\nLewis Hamilton has been urged to “calm down” by Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur following his recent statements about his performance.\n\nChristian Horner could take on a leadership role at Aston Martin. How likely is it?\n\nDoriane Pin, a Mercedes driver, was crowned champion of the F1 Academy, surpassing Ferrari’s Maya Weug.\n\nFor a more in-depth analysis, listen to the latest episode of the F1 podcast.\n\n\n
