"With no little pleasing symmetry, 75 years on from a three-way fight for the inaugural Formula One title, the championship is entering its decisive phase once more with three protagonists in the running and the promise of an enthralling denouement of the kind that has graced some of the sport's greatest seasons. Heading into this weekend's Sao Paulo Grand Prix, McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri and Red Bull's Max Verstappen all remain in the hunt."
"Norris leads Piastri by one point, with the defending champion, Verstappen, 36 points back, after a late-season resurgence. In 1950 the dominant Alfa Romeo 158 in the hands of Juan Manuel Fangio, Nino Farina and Luigi Fagioli held sway. Fangio entered the final round at Monza two points ahead of Fagioli with Farina four behind. The championship was contested across only six races."
Lando Norris leads teammate Oscar Piastri by one point heading into the São Paulo Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen 36 points adrift after a late-season resurgence. The championship contains four remaining events, creating a decisive final phase reminiscent of the inaugural 1950 three-way title contest. In 1950 Juan Manuel Fangio, Nino Farina and Luigi Fagioli contested the championship across six races, with Monza proving decisive when Fangio retired and Farina claimed the title. McLaren allowed intra-team competition while Red Bull recovered, making the current three-way contest more complex and highly competitive.
