Norris only needs to finish on the podium this weekend in order to be sure of the title, even if Verstappen wins the race, so the Brit will desperately be seeking a pole position that will make that highly likely.

There are 12 points separating the Brit and the Dutchman, with Piastri a further four behind, and the three championship protagonists have shared 20 pole positions between them in 2025.
