Lando Norris has the opportunity to wrap up the 2025 F1 Driver’s title at this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix, despite his and McLaren’s costly DSQ in Las Vegas.
Lando Norris could clinch the 2025 Formula 1 Driver’s title at the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend, despite McLaren’s disqualification in Las Vegas. He had a significant lead over his teammate Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen before the recent race. Norris needed just nine points to distance himself from Verstappen and Piastri but faced challenges in the first corner at Las Vegas. With only two races left, Norris still has a chance to become the World Champion. To secure the title, Norris must outscore Verstappen and Piastri by a few points or win the race while also staying ahead of his rivals. If successful, Norris would join Max Verstappen as a World Champion at the Lusail International Circuit.
