With Max Verstappen all but set to wrap up a fourth successive F1 Drivers’ title, our writers give their verdict on who out of Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc will finish best of the rest.
After his impressive performance at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Verstappen now leads Norris by 62 points in the Drivers’ standings with three races left. If Verstappen finishes ahead of Norris or if Norris fails to score in Las Vegas, the title will be clinched. Norris faces a challenge from Leclerc to maintain his second place, with just a 24-point difference between them before the final races. Despite Leclerc’s recent strong form, McLaren’s consistency should help Norris secure the runner-up spot. Norris holds a comfortable lead over Leclerc, making him a safe bet for consistent podium finishes in the remaining races. The battle for second place between Norris and Leclerc is expected to be close, with the outcome possibly going down to the wire in the season finale.
