With Norris' double win last weekend in Brazil, he extended his lead to 24 points, where he came into the weekend with a one-point advantage. Piastri's DNF in the sprint aided in boosting Norris' lead to 9 points. Then followed by the Australians' 10 10-second time penalty due to a collision with Antonelli, this left him finishing in 5th, gaining 10 points whilst his teammate took home 25 points, extending the lead to 24 points.

From being down 34 points, due to engine failure at Zandvoort 6 races ago, Norris retook the lead by a margin this weekend. He can now finish 2nd to his teammate at every race and still win the championship, a massive turnaround from halfway through the season.

Compared to the last few seasons, Verstappen hasn’t been considered a threat to the McLaren’s this year until his winning streak started again, putting him closer to the title fight. With his impressive drive on Sunday in Brazil, starting from the pitlane and ending on the podium, he is proving he is worthy of his 5th World Championship, but will he have the ability to beat Norris who is on a winning streak, consistently gaining more points than both Verstappen and Piastri?

Will the title be secured by Norris in Qatar or will the fight go down to the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi?
