What if Oscar Piastri surprised everyone. Third in the drivers’ standings before the last Grand Prix of the season, this Sunday in Abu Dhabi, the Australian starts from afar in the three-way fight for the world title.
Piastri world champion this Sunday if…
– he wins and Norris does not rank better than 6th.
– he finishes 2nd, Verstappen is not on the podium and Norris does not rank better than 10th
But his chances, although very slim, exist. Author of a dazzling start to steal second place in the race from his teammate Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri must rely on a rather improbable combination of circumstances to get ahead of the Briton as well as Max Verstappen.
Oscar Piastri was 16 points behind Norris before the GP, 4 points behind Verstappen.
