PADDOCK INSIDER: Norris, Verstappen and Piastri – the Abu Dhabi title showdown is here
Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri all arrive in Abu Dhabi as title contenders, but only one can leave as the World Champion...
After 23 Grands Prix and six Sprints, it comes down to one final race – with three drivers in the hunt for the Drivers’ Championship at the death for the first time in 15 years. Lando Norris leads the way, 12 points clear of reigning World Champion Max Verstappen, with Oscar Piastri four further adrift. In Abu Dhabi, the sport’s governing body, the FIA, brought the three of them together on a sofa for the final Thursday press conference of the season...
Unsurprisingly, this was the biggest show in town, with photographers giving the trio something of a guard of honour as they made their way to the press conference room, the Netflix audio boom and camera also tracking their every move.
