Both players are tied on the same points, 369.5 each. The 7-time champion can create history if he wins the race and will do what no other racer has done, to win 8 Formula One titles. On the other hand, Verstappen has the opportunity to win the title himself and has never come this close to doing so. 

It is one of the rare instances in which both players are tied on the same points and have an equal shot to go for glory. Today was the qualifying and Max topped the charts to claim pole position for the final race at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021.
