The penultimate race of the 2025 Formula 1 season is scheduled to take place at Lusail International Circuit on Sunday, and following Saturday's sprint race, the world championship picture heading into the Qatar Grand Prix is a lot clearer.
There are 50 points remaining up for grabs heading into this 57-lap race around the 16-turn, 3.343-mile (5.381-kilometer) road course in Lusail, Al Daayen, Qatar, and there are three drivers who still have the ability to be crowned 2025 world champion.
McLaren's Lando Norris owns a 22-point lead over teamate Oscar Piastri, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen is only 25 points back in third place.
The 19-lap sprint race was won from pole by Piastri. Verstappen won the Grand Prix from pole in 2023 and from second on the grid in 2024.
Piastri and Norris rounded out the podium in second and third place, respectively, in 2023, but in 2024, Piastri was third while Norris was 10th after being issued a 10-second time penalty.
