Abu Dhabi Set For F1’s Big Decider
What makes this title race even more interesting is that the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the last race run under the current Formula 1 rules
F1 fans are in for a gripping ride as the fierce three-way battle between Norris, Verstappen, and Piastri races full-speed toward the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi, where the season’s most intense title fight will be decided on December 7. Lando Norris leads the pack, holding a narrow but crucial 12-point advantage over Verstappen. For Norris, the task is clear: finish in the top three, and the title is his. But with two hungry rivals close behind, even a podium finish won’t be easy.
Every lap and every move will matter. Verstappen, the Red Bull star, isn’t ready to let his reign end quietly. He’s dominated Formula 1 in recent years with 4 consecutive titles and is known for staying calm under pressure. His experience and determination mean he’ll be pushing hard until the very last corner. Oscar Piastri, the rising talent, may be the outsider in points, but he’s still a serious contender. One strong result, or an unexpected twist, could shake up the whole championship battle. With Norris and Piastri dominating the early races, McLaren’s early-season form was undeniable, with the team consistently setting the pace and keeping rival camps under pressure.
Starting strong, Lando Norris kicked off the season with a win at the Australian Grand Prix, adding five more wins as the season went on. Oscar Piastri, on the other hand, collected most of his wins early in the year. He’s the only driver to pull off a hat-trick of consecutive victories, conquering Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Miami back-to-back, and for a significant stretch, he held the lead in the championship.
Max Verstappen’s season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. He started strong with early wins at Suzuka and Imola, but a slide in Red Bull’s performance pushed him out of the title fight. Then came one of the sport’s most dramatic turnarounds. Fuelled by sheer will and grit, Verstappen clawed his way back into contention, closing in on the McLarens.
As the cars line up and the night race begins, fans everywhere are gearing up for a finale full of speed, tension, and unforgettable moments. When that chequered flag waves, one driver will claim this season’s crown, and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will make history. What makes this title race even more interesting is that the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the last race run under the current Formula 1 rules that have been in place since 2022. Starting next year, 2026, the sport will switch to a whole new set of technical regulations, with new power units and car designs, marking the start of an exciting new era in F1.
