Match Preview – Max vs Norris vs Piastri
The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will bring the Formula 1 season to a dramatic close at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday, 7 December 2025, marking the final round of the year under the iconic sunset-to-night transition that makes this race one of the sport’s most spectacular showdowns. A thrilling championship battle is set with Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri all entering the finale with a chance to secure the world title, making this the first time since 2010 that three drivers remain in contention heading into the last race. Norris holds a narrow advantage in the standings and knows that a podium finish could deliver him his first World Championship, while Verstappen, starting from pole, aims to reclaim supremacy with a must-win approach and hopes his rivals slip behind. Piastri stands as the dark horse, needing perfection and strategic fortune to flip the script at the final hurdle. Teams like Mercedes and Ferrari, no longer in the title picture, may play spoiler roles as they chase final-race glory and aim to disrupt the leaders through strategy or opportunistic racing.
