While previous dominance of the likes of Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen and others in clearly vastly superior cars often rendered the end of the F1 season a procession, this is far from the case this year.
Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit could, in theory, host what would be a remarkable three-way showdown for the championship, depending on the results of the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend.
“Well, it’s a very exciting season, no doubt, especially after what happened in Las Vegas,” said Ali Al-Beshr, YMC general manager, referring to McLaren’s double disqualification in the US which leaves their two drivers — and season-long frontrunners Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri — on 390 and 366 points respectively in the standings. Ominously, relentless reigning champion Verstappen, for so long seemingly out of the picture, has clawed his way back to 366 points as well.
