Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri all enter the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend with a chance to seal the F1 title.
The championship fight this year was largely seen as a two-way fight between the McLaren duo.
However, after the summer break, Max Verstappen slowly became a contender as he ate into the McLaren deficit with an upturn in form.
After a botched strategy call from McLaren last Sunday in Qatar, Verstappen cruised to victory while Piastri and Norris drove to second and fourth respectively.
Heading into the final round of the campaign, Norris currently heads the standings with a 12-point gap to Verstappen, while Piastri is four points adrift of the Red Bull.
Norris is still in a strong position to seal the title, but will have a menacing Verstappen keen to strike at any available opportunity.
While a title now looks mathematically challenging for Piastri, the Australian is still in contention for the final round and is sure not to go down without a fight.
But who do you think will come out on top and claim the title next Sunday?
