Las Vegas opens the season’s final triple-header

The Las Vegas round is set to launch the final triple-header of the 2026 campaign, assuming the Qatar and Abu Dhabi races proceed as planned. The drivers’ and constructors’ championships have already been decided, with Kimi Antonelli securing the drivers’ title and Mercedes taking the teams’ crown.

There is still a fight for second place in both standings. Max Verstappen is second in the drivers’ table on 279 points, ahead of George Russell on 262, Lewis Hamilton on 261, Charles Leclerc on 249 and Lando Norris on 246.

In the constructors’ standings, Ferrari holds second with 510 points. Red Bull is third on 415, while McLaren follows on 398. The title races may be settled, but the final rounds will still shape the battles behind the champions.
