Lando Norris now leads McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by 30 points with a maximum of 58 available in the final two races
McLaren's Lando Norris moved closer to his first world title with second place in the Las Vegas Grand Prix behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
Norris leads team-mate Oscar Piastri, who finished fourth behind Mercedes' George Russell, by 30 points heading to the penultimate race in Qatar next weekend.
The Briton will win the championship in the desert as long as he does not lose more than five points to Piastri in Losail, or 17 to Verstappen.
Piastri, so strong in the first half of the season, has not finished on the podium for six races.
