Watch Qatar Grand Prix live stream 2025

Lando Norris can win his maiden F1 drivers' championship today, but only if he beats Oscar Piastri by four points or more, and matches Max Verstappen. For the first scenario to transpire, he'll have to overtake his McLaren teammate, who's on pole in Lusail. With Norris the meat in the sandwich between Piastri and Verstappen, it's going to one heck of a first corner. We'll show how to watch Qatar Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world, including free options.

Qatar Grand Prix 2025: preview

Having left Norris, Piastri and Verstappen grappling with mixed emotions a year ago, we already know that Lusail International Circuit has the potential to produce a late twist in the tale.

Piastri led a McLaren 1-2 in the Sprint 12 months ago, only for both drivers to fall well short in the GP itself. Norris struggled home in P10 after picking up a 10s stop-and-go penalty for ignoring yellow flags, while his teammate took a P3. Verstappen won the GP after passing George Russell out of the gates, but was unable to keep Red Bull's constructors' title defence alive.

And Norris in particular has reason to be twitchy. Not only has he never been in this position before, but last week's post-race disqualification tightened up the title race and Piastri now seems to have his groove back. The Australian is still 22 points shy, but he's in a position to set up a blockbuster of a season finale.

There's still a chance that Norris and Piastri – and Verstappen, for that matter – could finish the season level on points, in which case the F1 countback rule would come into play for the very first time.

The primary tie-breaker is, of course, Grand Prix victories, followed by P2s and so-forth. Going into the Qatar Grand Prix, Norris leads the way on seven P1s and eight P2s, followed by Piastri on seven P1 and three P2s, and Verstappen on six P1s and five P2s.
