Incredibly, the Red Bull star trailed Piastri by 104 points and Norris by 70 points just eight races ago; yet he heads into tonight’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix just 12 points behind Norris and four ahead of Piastri.
Norris is in the perfect position to win his maiden crown, only needing a podium finish.
Piastri’s most realistic chance of winning the world title is a first corner disaster between his teammate Norris and rival Verstappen.
To win the title, Piastri must finish first with Norris sixth or lower.
