The most famous example of this last season came during Daniel Ricciardo's final F1 race, when the Australian finished last but claimed the fastest lap on the final lap of the Singapore GP, taking the extra point away from Norris and helping Verstappen's 2024 title bid.

Max Verstappen recently applied for a race license with the FIA. Under which category does the four-time F1 champion fall, and what does that mean for potential outings outside Formula 1?

Australian Formula 1 racing driver Oscar Piastri and British driver Lando Norris, who both race under the McLaren Mercedes banner, are currently in first and second place, respectively, on the 2025 Driver Standings leaderboard, and most F1 betting sites have Piastri as the favourite to win this year.
