Norris vs Piastri: Who Will Win the Formula 1 Title?
The Formula 1 title race is down to its final three races, and Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are neck and neck. A mere 24 points separate them, with a maximum of 83 still up for grabs.
Damon Hill, a two-time F1 world champion, knows the pressure of fighting for a championship all too well. "When you're in that situation, it's huge - mentally, it's huge," he says. "You want the answer now, but you have to stay present and focus on the next race."
The mental strain is evident in both drivers. Early in the year, Norris was weaker, while Piastri was stronger. Now, it's the other way round. Norris has had more time to recover from losing the lead early in the season, but Piastri recently lost his edge and is struggling to bounce back.
Piastri has been praised for his consistency early in the year, while Norris struggled with poor starts. However, Norris has improved his qualifying recently, which has boosted his confidence. The difference between the two drivers has narrowed, with Piastri's results sometimes being affected by the car setup not suiting him.
One area where Piastri excels is in technical understanding. According to engineers, he is particularly good at sensing things that are technical. However, Norris seems more comfortable leaving it to his engineers and focusing on his driving.
The psychological battle between Norris and Piastri has been intense. Piastri's manager, Mark Webber, has described the Australian as a "shock to the system" since switching teams in Baku. Norris, on the other hand, has had longer to recover from losing the lead early in the season.
As the final three races approach, both drivers will be going through turmoil mentally. The title is within their grasp, but they must stay focused and composed if they want to emerge victorious.
Who will win the Formula 1 title? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - it's going to be a thrilling finish to the season.

I'm so hyped for this last stretch of F1! Norris vs Piastri, what can you even do? Both drivers are so talented and they've been putting on an amazing show all season. The thing that gets me is how mental it must be to be in this position - 24 points apart with only a few races left. It's like, the pressure is on, but at the same time, you gotta stay present and focus on what you can control, right? 
I think Norris has an edge because he's had more time to recover from losing that early lead, but Piastri's technical understanding is still insane! Whoever comes out on top, it's gonna be a nail-biter. Can't wait for the last few races 
! Norris and Piastri are so close, and I think they're both gonna give it their all in these last few races 
... not because he's the stronger driver, but 'cause he's shown more resilience throughout the season 
. And let's be real, consistency is key - Piastri's been great early on, but has been struggling to bounce back 
. I mean, it's mental strain all over the place 
! Norris might have an edge here 
.
He's been gaining momentum and his confidence is looking 
right now. Oscar Piastri was strong earlier in the year, but he's had some struggles lately 
! But Norris is stepping up his game too 
, so it's hard to pick a winner 
. Can't wait for the last three races 
, either way it's gonna be EPIC 
. I'm getting butterflies just thinking about the final 3 races...
