F1 Standings Update Before the Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025
As the 2025 Formula 1 season approaches its critical final stretch, all eyes are on the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The championship is heading towards an electrifying climax, with three races remaining that will ultimately decide the title winner. Leading the charge is Lando Norris of McLaren, who recently reclaimed the championship lead.
Current Standings Ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix
Lando Norris has solidified his position with a notable 24-point advantage over his teammate, Oscar Piastri. This lead comes after Norris’s string of victories in Mexico City and a dominant display at Interlagos, where he excelled in both the sprint and main race.
Title Contenders
- Lando Norris (McLaren): 390 points
- Oscar Piastri (McLaren): 366 points
- Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing): 341 points
- George Russell (Mercedes): 276 points
- Charles Leclerc (Ferrari): 214 points
Norris’s ascendance to the top of the standings shifted the focus to Oscar Piastri, who must perform exceptionally in the coming races to claim the title. With only three races remaining, including the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the stakes have never been higher.
Max Verstappen’s Challenge
Max Verstappen remains a contender for a fifth consecutive title, but the Dutch driver faces significant hurdles. He must win all remaining races while hoping for Norris and Piastri to hinder each other’s performances.
Verstappen needs to stay within nine points of Norris in Las Vegas to maintain his championship viability heading into Qatar. A bad showing could eliminate him from contention.
Critical Race Details
In Las Vegas, 83 points are still available over the final three rounds, including the Qatar sprint. This means the championship cannot be concluded in Las Vegas, even if Norris wins. To secure the title early, Norris will need a solid performance, including potentially winning the Las Vegas race.
Constructor Standings
- McLaren: 756 points
- Mercedes: 398 points
- Red Bull Racing: 366 points
- Ferrari: 362 points
- Williams: 111 points
Mercedes is also aiming for a strong finish, while Ferrari looks to recover from a disappointing race in Sao Paulo. The outcome in Las Vegas could substantially impact the constructors’ standings.
Looking Ahead
The Las Vegas Grand Prix promises to be a thrilling event, one that will shape the path to the championship. With tension among the top drivers and teams, fans can expect an action-packed racing weekend as the 2025 season nears its finale.
