There are only three races and one sprint left on the Formula 1 program this year. Ahead of the world championship races in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, Lando Norris is on the verge of replacing Max Verstappen as world champion. On Sunday, the Briton took a commanding victory in the McLaren in Brazil. The 25-year-old leads the overall standings with 24 points ahead of his team-mate Oscar Piastri. Defending champion Max Verstappen is already 49 points behind in the Red Bull and has little chance of winning title number five.
