1+ week, 3+ day ago (460+ words) For most of the 2025 Formula 1 season, it was a foregone conclusion that the World Drivers' Championship race would come down to McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who have benefited from an overwhelmingly superior car this season in comparison to the rest of the field. While McLaren has been at the forefront, reigning four-time champion Max Verstappen has lurked behind in the shadows. It was apparent from the opening round in Australia that Red Bull lacked the historic pace that Verstappen pushed to an unprecedented string of dominance, but the Dutchman has done just enough this season to give him a slice of life with three races left. Although Verstappen still trails Norris by 49 points and Piastri by 25 points, the fact that he still has a chance to steal a fifth consecutive title is borderline unfathomable given where he…...

Both Norris and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri were disqualified in Las Vegas for technical infringements after post-race checks found the skid blocks on both cars to be below the minimum depth. Max Verstappen won the last two editions of the Qatar Grand Prix. The disqualification allowed Las Vegas winner Max Verstappen to slice Norris' lead…...

1+ week, 13+ hour ago (686+ words) Las Vegas: Formula One world champion Max Verstappen produced a masterful drive to win the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday and his title hopes were boosted further with the McLarens of championship leader Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both being disqualified. Norris finished the race in second with Piastri fourth but the skid blocks on both cars were found after the race to be less than the minimum depth. The disqualifications mean that with two race weekends remaining, four-time defending champion Verstappen is now level on points with Piastri in the title race, just 24 points behind Norris. But Verstappen's chances of a fifth successive title will depend on another spectacular slip-up from Norris or his McLaren team. With a maximum of 58 points available in the final two grands prix, the Briton just needs to score two more points than…...
