With three rounds to go, Lando Norris has a 24-point lead over Oscar Piastri at the top of the F1 drivers' championship. We're set for an intriguing weekend as the Las Vegas circuit isn't expected to suit McLaren's 2025 car.
That could open the door to Max Verstappen or Mercedes' George Russell this weekend. Verstappen is 49 points off Norris, and will need to take a hat-trick of wins to have any hope of taking the title.

The fight for the title
Lando Norris is in control of the 2025 F1 title race after taking back-to-back victories in Mexico and Brazil. He is 24 points ahead of McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.
On Wednesday, Norris conceded that expectations for McLaren are lower in Vegas due to the cooler temperatures.
Piastri hasn't finished on the podium since the Italian Grand Prix in September, finishing fifth in the last three consecutive races.
