What Norris needs<\/p>\n
\u2022 He needs to emerge from the weekend having scored two points more than Piastri and Verstappen to be sure. <\/p>\n
\u2022 There are a maximum of 58\u00a0points left for each driver to win: eight in today\u2019s sprint, 25\u00a0in tomorrow\u2019s race and 25 in Abu\u00a0Dhabi next Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If two drivers are level on points in the standings the driver with most race wins would be champion. If they still cannot be split it goes to most second-place finishes, and so on until a point of difference is reached. The McLaren drivers are level 7-7 on wins, with Verstappen on six, but Norris is 8-3 ahead of Piastri on second places.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Norris is aiming to become the 11th British champion after Mike Hawthorn, Graham Hill (2), Jim Clark (2), John Surtees, Jackie Stewart (3), James Hunt, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Lewis Hamilton (7) and Jenson Button.<\/p>\n
