Formula 1 roars back into Nevada for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, the glittering night race that kicks off the final triple-header of a season still very much alive in the battle for the world championship. As the Strip transforms once again into a 6.2km race arena under the neon glare, the title picture heads toward its decisive final three weeks.
Lando Norris enters Vegas as the clear favourite for the Drivers’ Championship after back-to-back victories propelled him 24 points ahead of McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. Yet with 83 points still available across Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, Norris has repeatedly cautioned that “nothing is done yet” — and mathematically, he’s absolutely right.
The Championship Picture Heading Into Las Vegas
For Piastri and Max Verstappen, round 22 is a must-perform weekend. Piastri is desperate to halt a run of five races without a podium, while Verstappen — now 49 points off the summit after his struggles at Interlagos — must ensure Norris doesn’t outscore him by nine points or more to remain in realistic contention heading into Qatar.
A twist to this crucial phase of the season is that McLaren and Red Bull both found themselves strangely off the pace in Vegas last year, while Mercedes dominated the cool November night as George Russell led Lewis Hamilton home for a commanding one–two. Ferrari, meanwhile, have locked out front-row positions and podiums across both previous editions of the event, and after slipping to fourth in the constructors’ standings in Brazil, the Scuderia arrive under heightened scrutiny following chairman John Elkann’s pointed remarks last weekend.
