As the 2024 Formula 1 season culminates in Abu Dhabi, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri are set for a thrilling three-way title decider. History shows that leading the standings into the final race doesn't guarantee victory in multi-contender showdowns. In 2007, Kimi Räikkönen, trailing Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, seized the championship in Brazil. Similarly, in 2010, Sebastian Vettel, who hadn't led the standings all season, dramatically clinched his first title in Abu Dhabi against Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber, and Lewis Hamilton. These precedents offer significant hope for Verstappen and Piastri, who currently trail Norris by 12 and 16 points respectively, highlighting that the championship is truly open until the final lap.
