Return or say goodbye to the title. Four meetings before the end of the Formula 1 season, Lando Norris is preparing to experience one of the most decisive of the season this weekend near Sao Paulo (Brazil). With the sprint format and therefore two races on the program, the British driver has a golden opportunity to get back on Max Verstappen, leader of the World Championship with 47 units in advance.
The situation is simple for the McLaren protégé. He must recover 12 points per weekend to hope to be crowned for the first time. And with a sprint on Saturday and a race on Sunday for the penultimate time of the season, the Sao Paulo GP presents itself as an ideal opportunity. If he misses, “Lando” could also say goodbye to the title and concentrate on the Manufacturers’ World Championship.
With two consecutive victories, Ferrari came back strongly from Austin (United States) and has already overtaken Red Bull in the standings. Charles Leclerc can even mathematically still aim for the drivers' title. Brazil arrives at the right time before another break and a marathon of three Grand Prix (Qatar, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi) to end the season.
The start of the sprint race will take place this Saturday, November 2 at 2:40 p.m. and will be followed on Canal + Sport 360. The qualifying practices will take place immediately from 6:45 p.m. on Canal +. The results and the summary of the weekend's sessions can be read on The Parisian.
