What is at stake?

Kimi Antonelli leads the championship on 340 points, 102 clear of George Russell on 238, with six rounds left. Lewis Hamilton is third on 229, Max Verstappen fourth on 221 and Charles Leclerc fifth on 215 — four drivers separated by 23 points in the race for second.

Who is favoured?

Verstappen arrives on a two-race winning streak, both from pole: Sepang, then Singapore, where he also won the Sprint. He won here last year from pole, ahead of Lando Norris and Leclerc. Antonelli was second at Sepang and third in Singapore.
