The fate of the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship could come down to the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend in Lusail.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOn paper, Qatar should be a good opportunity for Lando Norris and McLaren to secure the title, but you never know what might happen. Red Bull's Max Verstappen is relentless in the running for another championship, and him and Oscar Piastri are tied just 24 points behind Norris.
A maximum of 58 points are at stake across the final two races, with 33 available at Qatar since it's a sprint format. If Norris can finish this weekend 26 or more points ahead of Piastri and Verstappen, then he will be crowned champion.
If he can't, it will all come down to the wire in Abu Dhabi.
Here's how to watch the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix in Australia, including TV channel and streaming options for the Formula 1 race.
