The race for the drivers' championship is heating up as Formula 1 heads to Asia this weekend, for Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix.
At the Las Vegas GP last week, McLaren suffered a double blow as both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified. With Max Verstappen winning that race, he has cut down Norris' lead to 24 points. While Norris leads the drivers' championship standings at 390 points, Verstappen and Piastri are level on 366 points.
