Formula 1 heads to Las Vegas this weekend for the second edition of its street race on the Strip.

With 86 points up for grabs across the remaining three race weekends, Max Verstappen is guaranteed another crown by winning the race outright.

After his stunning victory in Sao Paulo, he heads to Las Vegas with every chance of being crowned World Champion for the fourth season in a row.

He could also claim the title by just finishing ahead of nearest challenger Lando Norris in the race.

The Dutch can even afford to finish directly behind Norris in most scenarios to claim the trophy on Sunday morning.

VERSTAPPEN CHAMPIONSHIP SCENARIOS

  • Verstappen finishes ahead of Norris
  • Norris is second or third and Verstappen finishes right behind him with the fastest lap
  • Norris is fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth and Verstappen finishes right behind him
  • Norris is ninth, 10th or fails to score

CONSTRUCTORS BATTLE

In the constructors' championship, the battle rages on, courtesy of Ferrari enjoying a strong resurgence after its late-season upgrades cured some of the SF-24's flaws.

McLaren leads Ferrari by 36 points, but the Scuderia comfortably outscored its rival over the most recent American triple-header, with a win apiece for both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
