Of course, the drivers' championship is now wrapped up after Max Verstappen did enough to secure his fourth consecutive title in Vegas, but it is very much all to play for in the constructors' championship.

Heading to Qatar, McLaren maintain their lead at the top of the constructors' standings, but Ferrari and Red Bull will still hold hopes of a late charge. Ferrari are currently 24 points behind their papaya rivals, with Red Bull further back and trailing the constructors' leaders by 53 points at this stage.

With that said, after a chilly weekend in Las Vegas, how is the weather looking in Qatar?
