A look at the main talking points head into this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix
As we approach the end of the 2025 F1 season, Lando Norris holds a 24-point lead over his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, with Max Verstappen trailing by 39 points in third place.
Verstappen will need flawless performances in the remaining races to have a shot at winning the championship, especially with the track layout and conditions favoring his rivals from McLaren.
McLaren, despite showing significant improvement this season, could face challenges similar to those encountered in previous races like Monza and Azerbaijan due to their historical struggles on certain circuits.
With only three races left, Verstappen must secure victories in all rounds, starting with the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix, to stand a chance at closing the points gap and challenging Norris for the title.
Piastri, on the other hand, needs to outperform his teammate and secure a win to boost his own title hopes in what promises to be an intense battle for the 2025 F1 drivers’ championship.
