F1 TITLE TO BE DECIDED AT 2025 ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX
The Red Bull driver's win lifted him into second place in the standings on 396 points, 12 behind series leader Norris. Polesitter Piastri dropped to third but reduced his deficit to Norris to 18 points.
This weekend marks the fourth title decider to take place in the UAE capital and the first since 2021. It is also the first time three drivers have arrived in Abu Dhabi with a shot at the title. Verstappen, aiming for a fifth drivers' crown, has won four of the last five races at Yas Marina Circuit, with that run broken by Norris in 2024.

Both sessions include a track walk and are exclusive to four-day ticket holders on a first-come, first-served basis.
In another first, more grandstand gates will open after the chequered flag on
Sunday, December 7 , inviting fans to join celebrations under the podium and witness history as the 2025 champion is crowned.
Multi-day ticket holders receive complimentary access to Abu Dhabi's leading attractions, including Yas Island theme parks, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Qasr Al Watan, in addition to new destinations including teamLab Phenomena, the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi and the Zayed National Museum, opening on December 3 .
