The Components 1 paddock reconvenes this weekend for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with all eyes on who will take this yr’s Drivers’ title.
Lando Norris heads into the weekend on the cusp of his maiden Components 1 title, the Briton holding a 12-point lead over Max Verstappen and admitting he has “most to lose” in Sunday’s race.
In flip, Verstappen approaches this weekend “very relaxed” having overturned a 104-point margin after a shocking late run within the season for himself and Red Bull.
Oscar Piastri sits 16 factors behind Norris and regardless of lacking out on victory in Qatar as a result of McLaren‘s technique, “carries a lot of confidence” into the title-decider.
Elsewhere, the 2026 grid was confirmed with Arvid Lindblad set to make his F1 debut with Racing Bulls as Isack Hadjar is promoted to the Purple Bull staff in place of Yuki Tsunoda.
Be a part of Laura Winter, James Hinchcliffe, Jolyon Palmer and Juan Pablo Montoya on Weekend Heat-Up for the entire above and far more.
