All eyes will be trained on Max Verstappen at the Qatar Grand Prix, as he looks set to clinch his third world title in Lusail.

The Red Bull superstar has dominated the 2023 season from start to finish, and a 14th victory would all but clinch the title.

Teammate Sergio Pérez is the only driver who can mathematically halt Verstappen from being crowned, but he is looking over his shoulder rather than looking ahead at the flying Dutchman up front.

Pérez is under major pressure to deliver in the final weeks of the season. He retired from the Japanese Grand Prix and has only recorded one podium in four weeks, with fourth and eighth place finishes making up the rest of a lukewarm stint.

Lando Norris is in top form heading into the Qatar Grand Prix, but he remains well out of contention to finish in the top three drivers. Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso appear best-placed to challenge Pérez for second in the weeks to come.
