The BIG motorsport weekend

After a four-week break, F1 action returns with a bang as teams head into a hectic period of six races in the last eight weeks as the season moves towards a thrilling climax.

In MotoGP, it is even tighter as the riders head to Australia for the fourth-last thrash around the track.

In terms of the F1 title, what looked like a shoo-in for Max Verstappen a few months ago after seven wins in the first 10 races is turning out to be a real two-horse race. McLaren's Lando Norris has closed what was an 84-point gap six races ago to a 52-point gap with another six left.

That means he has been closing at just over five points per race, so if he can continue doing that for five of the races, then throw in a win with a Max retirement, we have a serious thriller on our hands!

The action resumes this weekend with the 19th race of the season in Austin,  United States, and McLaren will look to extend their constructors’ championship lead, ahead of Red Bull and Ferrari.

Follow all the action live on SuperSport.
