How can Lando Norris become F1 world champion at the Qatar Grand Prix?
Heading into the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend, the pressure is on Lando Norris to secure his first F1 world championship victory. In the previous Las Vegas GP, McLaren faced disqualification as both Norris and Piastri exceeded the legal plank wear limit. Piastri now stands closer to Norris in the standings, only 24 points behind the leader. Norris needs to maintain a 26-point lead over Piastri and Verstappen to clinch the title this weekend at the Lusail International Circuit. In case he leads by just 25 points but wins the main grand prix, Norris could still be crowned champion due to his number of race victories. Ultimately, if Norris outperforms both rivals by a minimum of two points in Qatar, he will secure the championship.
