After 23 races across the season, just 16 separate the top three drivers, with Norris leading the way on 408 points. Verstappen sits 12 points behind the Brit, while Piastri is 16 points behind his teammate.

However, after a stunning lap in qualifying, Verstappen put his RB21 on pole position, while Norris and Piastri start in P2 and P3, respectively, to set up an enthralling season finale.

Coming into the final race of the 2025 season, Lando Norris is the odds on favourite to win the World Champiosnhip and earn a maiden title.

The Brit took the championship lead away from Oscar Piastri after an impressive Mexico City Grand Prix performance, and some impressive drivers during pressure points of the season have put him in the drivers seat.

Norris is the favourite to become World Champion across many bookmakers with odds of 1/3 and 2/7, and a podium finish at the Yas Marina Circuit will see the McLaren man seal the title.

Of course, Max Verstappen cannont be counted out. The Dutchman was 104 points off the top of the championship after the Duch Grand Prix.

However, a stunning return to form for him and his Red bull team have seen the four-time World Champion stage a stunning comeback to put him just 12 points away from P1 in the championship and within touching distance of a fifth conscutive world title.

However, to do so and complete one of the great F1 comebacks, the 28-year-old must win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and see Norris miss out on the podium.

Verstappen does start on pole, but it will be a tough task to try and overhaul the 12-point deficit. As a result, there are odds of 5/2 and 11/4 from bookmakers.

What once looked like a championship-winning season has now turned into an outside chance at becoming World Champion for Oscar Piastri.

Some sublime performance across the season from the Australian has shown there will be plenty more world title fights for the Australian across his career, but a blip in form during the final few Grand Prix weekends in 2025 saw the 24-year-old tumble down the drivers' standings.

As a result, a 16-point deficit may be too challenging to overturn at the Yas Marina Circuit, with the bookmakers also agreeing. Piastri has odds of 16/1 to become World Champion.
