Lando Norris leads the drivers' championship by 12 points from second-placed Max Verstappen and 16 points from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri in third.

If Norris, who starts P2, finishes first, second or third in Abu Dhabi he will win the world championship - it doesn't matter where his rivals finish.

Also if he doesn't finish on the podium but does finish ahead of both Verstappen and Piastri then he wins the title.

Any other scenario for Norris to win the championship requires him to finish within 12 points of Verstappen in Abu Dhabi and within 16 points of Piastri.

Four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who starts on pole position, is aiming to win a fifth consecutive title this weekend.

Verstappen's clearest route to the championship is for him to win in Abu Dhabi and Norris to finish fourth or worse.

If he does not win the race he needs to out-score Norris by at least 13 points while also ensuring Piastri does not out-score him by five points or more.

Oscar Piastri is the outside chance to claim the championship in Abu Dhabi. The Australian is lining up in P3 today.

If Piastri wins the season finale and Lando Norris finishes sixth or lower then Piastri wins the title.

However if Piastri finishes second, Norris would need to finish in 10th place or lower and Max Verstappen fourth or lower for him to win the title.

Any other scenario for Piastri to win the title requires him to finish 17 points ahead of Norris and five points ahead of Verstappen.
