Lando Norris has the chance to become world champion for the first time in Qatar this weekend.
An overwhelming majority of F1 fans do not believe Lando Norris will be crowned world champion at the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend. Despite Norris having the opportunity to surpass Max Verstappen at the Lusail Circuit, his disqualification from second place at the Las Vegas GP has made his challenge more difficult. The gap between Norris and Verstappen narrowed to just 24 points after Verstappen gained the full 25 points from Norris’ disqualification, tying with Oscar Piastri. Norris must outscore Piastri and Verstappen by at least two points to secure the championship lead ahead of the Abu Dhabi finale. A poll conducted by RacingNews365 revealed that the majority of respondents anticipate a title showdown in the final race, with a significant portion expecting a Norris-Verstappen battle to unfold.
