Watch Qatar Grand Prix live streams to discover who will hold the title advantage going into the final race of the season. Lando Norris leads the way but he is just 24 points ahead of McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri and Red Bull’s four-time world champion Max Verstappen.

That brought Verstappen back into the title mix after he delivered an impressive victory in Sin City.
