Championship Standings and Season Context
Norris seized the championship initiative with a commanding performance at the previous round in Mexico City, winning from pole position. However, with only four races remaining in the 2025 campaign, the margin at the top is razor-thin.
Meanwhile, reigning champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull remains firmly in the hunt. His podium finish in Mexico means he now trails Norris by 36 points. Verstappen has formidable history at Interlagos, having won from 17th on the grid in 2024 in a drive that effectively sealed his fourth title.
This weekend marks the fifth and final sprint weekend of the 2025 season, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the event at the challenging Interlagos track.
In the constructors' championship, McLaren has already been crowned champion with a total of 713 points. The fight for second is incredibly tight, with Ferrari on 356 points, just one point ahead of Mercedes.
For British veteran Lewis Hamilton, time is running out to secure a first podium finish with Ferrari. After finishing eighth in Mexico, only four opportunities remain for the 40-year-old to achieve this milestone.
