The 2025 Formula 1 championship will be decided this weekend. On Sunday, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, or Oscar Piastri will be crowned the 2025 Formula 1 champion in Abu Dhabi. However, which Formula 1 driver will become the champion of the world in a few days?

Norris and the No. 4 team for McLaren will win the 2025 Formula 1 championship in Abu Dhabi after winning the event. The 26-year-old driver is the favorite, as he only needs to finish on the podium to become the champion. Unless there is a bad strategy or issue, Norris figures to be the champion in Abu Dhabi.

However, Verstappen's magical run has proven that he is the best driver on the Formula 1 grid, no matter the equipment. The four-time Formula 1 champion has a better shot at stealing the crown than Piastri. For now, Norris figures to be the favorite, but Verstappen is lurking and not going away.
