With a maximum of 44 points left on offer, McLaren, who are looking to win their first title since 1998, go into the final race in Abu Dhabi with a 21-point lead over Ferrari, who last lifted the trophy in 2008.

How can they win it? By Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri scoring 24 points or more. If Ferrari fail to win the race then McLaren only need 13 points to be crowned champions.

The perfect scenario for the Italian team would be a result like the United States Grand Prix in October, where Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz secured a one-two and Norris and Piastri finished fourth and fifth.

In the battle for sixth, the advantage, although small, is now with Alpine who sit five points clear of Haas and 13 ahead of RB.
