McLaren's Lando Norris will be looking to keep the momentum going heading into the penultimate race of the season at the
Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday, November 18.
The Brit has come out of nowhere to challenge Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton for a top-three finish in the Drivers' standings.
Norris has collected the second-highest points (183) since McLaren received their upgrade package at the Austrian Grand Prix, claiming seven podiums in the last 12 races.

The 24-year-old equalled an unwanted record in the Brazilian Grand Prix with his P2, which made it 13 podium finishes without a career win - a feat he shares with Nick Heidfeld.
However, Norris is encouraged by the progress made by McLaren this year, having briefly challenged Max Verstappen for the lead on lap 8 in Sao Paulo before finishing 8.277 seconds behind the race winner.

"I've just been just saying to Max, since we brought this upgrade to Austria, I've been the second highest scoring driver on the grid," he said in the post-race press conference. "I think we've been the second-highest scoring team, potentially.
"Of course, we've taken some massive steps forward and at the same time, considering we're talking about fighting the Red Bull, I think it's still a very, very good thing, for what we've achieved this year.
"For us to go from where we were in Bahrain to getting close and talking about fighting a Red Bull I think are very good signs for us."
