Incredible stat:

On the last Five Occasions that at least Three Drivers were involved in the title decider - 1981, 1983, 1986, 2007 & 2010 - The driver leading the championship heading into the race never went on to win the title.

Can Norris break the curse?

If any of them end up equal on points after Abu Dhabi, it will be decided on countback, where the current standings are:

Norris: 7 P1s, 6 P2s, 2 P3s
Verstappen: 7 P1s, 4 P2s, 2 P3s
Piastri: 7 P1s, 3 P2s, 4 P3s

3/3

So, that means:

If NOR finishes anywhere ahead of VER and PIA, he is Champion.

If NOR finishes anywhere on the podium, he is Champion.

If VER wins, NOR has to finish P4 or lower for VER to be Champion.

If PIA wins, NOR has to finish P6 or lower for PIA to be Champion.

Case in point: if Lando's engine doesn't fail at Zandvoort for a reason McLaren said was their fault, Norris would be celebrating his first championship at this moment as he'd be 30 points ahead of Verstappen.
I will stress that Norris has not been the issue at all this second half of the season. This is all on McLaren for this shit.

But there's also no doubt that the best driver is still very much Verstappen. It's hard to say the best driver won the championship if he doesn't do so next week.

Beautiful troll job
After Red Bull made the right pit stop call which won the race for Max Verstappen, it's only fitting that head strategist Hannah Schmitz will be on the podium with the Dutchman!

Guys, I really do think this battle would be more interesting with playoffs

McLaren has had the fastest car all fucking year. How the fuck do you give away the championship like this. For the second year in a row! HOW?!

"He's looking to chase you down" is an incredible radio communication to send to Max in any situation.

Crofty, I don't think anybody at 2007 McLaren is still there

After all of the text messages have come out in the last month, I’d really want there to be a blind poll on if the NASCAR garage has lost faith in current management of the series.

A Piastri win and a Norris second tomorrow would mean Verstappen is eliminated from the championship and there would be a 15 point gap between the two McLaren drivers heading into Abu Dhabi next weekend.

I don't think there's going to be a driver more happy in parc ferme next week than Lewis.

Well Yuki was fun to see in that Sprint I guess

Qatar has to be the worst track on the F1 calendar, right?

WDC Standings:

1. Norris (396)
2. Piastri (-22)
3. Verstappen (-25)

Crucially for Piastri, a win tomorrow would guarantee him a shot at the championship next week at Abu Dhabi, regardless of where Norris finishes. Verstappen must finish ahead of Norris and in points to stay alive.

This “Fred” guy has been messaging me, asking to buy my car. I need some advice if I should or not.
