Zak Brown is interviewed following his team's double disqualification in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. McLaren reel from their double disqualification, which allowed Verstappen to level in points with Piastri. Norris has an opportunity to win his first Drivers' Championship at the Qatar Grand Prix. An opportune safety car after Hülkenberg crashes allows everyone to pit, though McLaren decide not to. As a result, Verstappen controls the race ahead of Piastri and Carlos Sainz Jr., with Norris in fourth after Antonelli loses his rear, bringing the championship fight to Abu Dhabi. Verstappen is now ahead of Piastri in the Drivers' Championship. At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen takes pole position ahead of Norris and Piastri. Norris needs a podium finish to secure the Drivers' Championship, and Piastri needs to win with both drivers out of the podium to secure it. Norris falls to third in the race start, but holds on to it for long enough to secure his first Championship. | ||||
