Overview
- For the first time since 2010, three drivers enter the season finale with a chance at the championship.
- The standings are Norris 408 points, Verstappen 396 and Piastri 392, with 25 points available in Abu Dhabi.
- Verstappen is pursuing a fifth straight drivers' title, a run last matched by Michael Schumacher.
- McLaren has already clinched the constructors' crown, and team orders between Norris and Piastri remain unconfirmed.
- Verstappen's late resurgence was aided by a McLaren strategy error in Qatar and a Las Vegas disqualification, and the Yas Marina race airs Sunday on Canal+ at 14:00 local time.
