Watch Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live streams as the 2025 Formula 1 season comes down to the tensest of finales. Lando Norris leads Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by just 12 points and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by 16 with the drivers’ championship set up perfectly for a three-way fight on the last race weekend of the season. Motorsport doesn’t get any better than this.

Any podium finish will be enough for Norris to claim his first title, while defending champion Verstappen win a fifth consecutive championship if he takes the checkered flag and Norris is fourth or worst. Piastri is the outsider and will need misfortune to befall at least one of his title rivals.

Mercedes’ George Russell is in fourth, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc fifth and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso sixth. Lewis Hamilton was knocked in the first round of qualifying for the third straight grand prix, saying he felt an “unbearable amount of anger and rage”.

Norris should arguably have wrapped this up weeks ago but has struggled to get over the line. In Qatar last weekend, McLaren attempted to get the Briton above Piastri, denying the latter of victory at the expense of the Verstappen’s win.

The Dutchman, though, has been nothing short of extraordinary, picking up 213 points from a possible 257 over the past nine Grands Prix to put the pressure on the McLaren newbies.

“Incredibly happy to be in first,” Verstappen said after Saturday’s qualfiying. “That’s the only thing we can do – try to maximize everything with the car.”

Will team tactics come into effect? If Verstappen’s leading and Norris is behind Piastri, needing a place to take the title, don’t bet against it…
