Even if he cannot win the Formula One title in Las Vegas this weekend, McLaren's Lando Norris can end Max Verstappen's reign on the same floodlit track where the Red Bull driver celebrated a fourth successive crown last year.
If Verstappen falls too far behind the Briton after Saturday night's spectacular, then McLaren, already the constructors' champion for the second year in a row, will be assured of both titles in the same season for the first time since 1998.
The Dutch driver is third overall and 49 points adrift of championship leader Norris, who will be making the 150th race start of his career, with 58 points remaining to be won in the last two rounds after Las Vegas.
