The F1 summer break is in full swing as the teams and drivers take advantage of the off period before the season resumes later this month.
Both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris head into the final 10 rounds of the campaign looking to secure their first F1 titles.
The duo have taken the majority of race wins this year with 11 between them as McLaren has successfully risen to the head of the pecking order.
Both drivers have scored far more points this year compared to the same point in 2024, with Piastri 117 points up at the head of the standings.
Max Verstappen, meanwhile, has scored 90 fewer points in the opening 14 races as Red Bull has suffered a decline in form.
There is, however, someone who is worse off than the four-time champion. Following his move from Ferrari to Williams, Carlos Sainz finds himself with 146 fewer points compared to this time last year.
His team-mate Alex Albon has enjoyed an uptick in points return, trailing only the McLaren duo and Mercedes' George Russell.
