Max Verstappen’s dramatic victory in Qatar last Sunday leaves the Dutchman locked in a battle for glory with the two McLaren drivers, Brit Lando Norris and Australia’s Oscar Piastri.

The Red Bull driver’s win lifted him into second place in the standings where he sits on 396 points, 12 behind current leader Norris who finished fourth at the Lusail International Circuit. Pole-sitter Piastri dropped to third but still cut his deficit to Norris to 18 points.

This weekend marks the fourth title decider to take place in the UAE capital and the first since 2021. It will also be the first time three drivers have arrived in Abu Dhabi with a shot at glory.
