A superb win for reigning champion Max Verstappen and a double disqualification for McLaren — who have already secured the constructors’ championship — in Las Vegas means the drivers’ title hangs in the balance; just 24 points separate Lando Norris from Oscar Piastri and Verstappen.
With 58 points on offer over the final two rounds, the honors could be decided in Qatar this weekend but will more likely roll on to the final Grand Prix of the season. The excitement takes place from Dec. 4-7, with the race taking place on the Sunday.
The Yas Island track is almost ready for the arrival of the 10 F1 teams, their drivers and a blockbuster lineup of entertainment. Last year’s event drew 192,000 spectators over the four days, and organizers say early indicators suggest 2025 is on course to surpass that figure, with fans expected from 105 countries.
