All three drivers have the chance to win the world title at the final race of the 2025 season, with Norris leading the way on 408 points, while Verstappen and Piastri sit 12 points and 16 points behind, respectively.

As a result, a podium finish for Norris would be enough for him to seal a maiden World Championship and become the 11th British driver to do so.

However, after a stunning lap during the final qualifying session of the season, Verstappen took pole position and now gives himself a chance to win a fifth consecutive world title.

The Dutchman needs to win at the Yas Marina Circuit and see Norris miss out on the podium to become World Champion. If results go his way, it would complete one of the greatest comebacks in F1 history, overturning a deficit that stood at 104 points.

Verstappen will start the 58-lap race on pole, but he will have Norris and Piastri right behind him in P2 and P3 respectively, with Piastri also in with the chance of become World Champion, albeit an outside chance.

Behind the top three, George Russell and Charles Leclerc will round out the top five, with Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin starting P6.

Gabriel Bortoleto and Esteban Ocon will start P7 and P8, respectively, while Isack Hadjar and Yuki Tsunoda round out the top ten.
