The F1 season finale will take place in the United Arab Emirates with Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri set to contest a thrilling final race of the season.

Despite a fourth-place finish last time out in Qatar, Lando Norris needs just a third-place finish to secure the title, while Verstappen will have to win the race and have Norris finish fourth or lower to take an unlikely title.
