The Formula 1 season approaches its climax with the Qatar Grand Prix, the second-to-last race, where the drivers' championship remains fiercely contested. Lando Norris leads his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri and Red Bull's Max Verstappen by 24 points. Norris has an opportunity to clinch his first world title this weekend, requiring a performance that gains him just two points more than Piastri and Verstappen.
Oscar Piastri, who experienced a strong start to the season, has faced challenges in recent months due to driver errors and difficult weekends. He now sits level on points with Max Verstappen and will look to the Qatar circuit, where he secured his first F1 victory in a sprint race, to reignite his championship challenge and rebuild confidence.
In the constructors' battle, Mercedes is nearing a significant achievement by securing second place. Following McLaren's disqualification in Las Vegas, Mercedes gained crucial points. They now need to outscore Red Bull by only four points in Qatar to lock down the runner-up position, aiming for a positive end to their season.
