There is one round left in the Formula 1 season and there are more decisions that have already been made, both in the Drivers’ Championship and the Constructors’ Championship. Sergio Pérez has already become the vice-champion.
The third place in the Las Vegas GP this Sunday was enough for the Mexican to secure second place in the championship, just behind Max Verstappen. The Dutchman has 549 points, compared to Pérez’s 273, who is vice-champion for the first time. Red Bull also achieves a “one-two” in the Drivers’ Championship for the first time in history.
Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), sixth in this round, secured third place: he cannot be reached by Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) or Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), who share fourth place with 32 points less than the British driver. The two Spaniards can still be surpassed by Lando Norris (McLaren) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), who are respectively five and 12 points behind. George Russell (Mercedes) also already knows that he will finish eighth: he has a 28-point disadvantage compared to Leclerc and a 71-point advantage over Oscar Piastri (McLaren).
In the Constructors’ Championship, Red Bull reached 822 points, having 430 more than Mercedes. The German team has not yet secured the runner-up position: it enters the final round with only four more points than Ferrari. McLaren, far from the podium, has only an 11-point lead over Aston Martin in the battle for fourth place.
Alpine already has its final position in sixth, while seventh place belongs to Williams… which can be surpassed by any of the teams behind it: AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo, and Haas, which enters the last GP of the year in last place.
