A difficult run of grand prix events for Oscar Piastri has seen his 34-point advantage after the Dutch Grand Prix in August eradicated.
Following Lando Norris' dominant drive to victory last time out in Mexico City, the Briton moved to the head of the standings by a single point.
It marked the first time since April that Piastri has not held the lead in the drivers' championship.
Max Verstappen has also dramatically closed the margin to the lead over the last handful of events and has now become a late factor in the title fight.
But having spent much of the year in hte position of being the hunted, can Piastri use his new position as hte hunter to his advantage?
Or do you believe he is in danger of slipping further back in the standings across the final four rounds of the campaign?
