○ Sunday's Grand Prix Preview (November 30, ~2:00 PM local time)The 57-lap main race promises fireworks:
• Title Implications: Norris (lead by ~20 points over Piastri) could seal his maiden championship if he outscores Verstappen by certain margins. Piastri, his teammate, is hunting the runner-up spot.

• Weather: Clear skies, temperatures ~25°C—ideal for pushing limits.

Quick Look Back: Las Vegas GP (November 21-23)The prior round saw Verstappen triumph in a chaotic night race on the Strip, capitalizing on Norris' Turn 1 mistake. Post-race disqualifications for Norris and Piastri (skid block wear) handed podiums to Russell (2nd) and others, adding controversy.
