TL;DR
- The 2025 Qatar Grand Prix significantly impacts the F1 Drivers' championship outcome.
- Max Verstappen's win in Las Vegas and McLaren disqualifications opened up the championship race.
- Lando Norris leads by 24 points, but his championship lead is not secure.
- The Qatar Grand Prix can be streamed live on Fubo and ESPN+ in the U.S.
With increased importance, the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix is poised to significantly influence the outcome of this year's F1 Drivers' championship.
Prior to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the championship picture looked pretty clear, but that all changed last weekend. With Red Bull's Max Verstappen dominating in Sin City and both McLaren drivers getting disqualified for excessive skid wear, this race has blown wide open.
Lando Norris maintains a 24-point advantage at the top, though his lead isn't entirely secure. Should he score two more points than Verstappen and Piastri in Qatar, his position will be strong; however, if he doesn't, the championship will be determined at the final race of the season in Abu-Dhabi.
