Ferrari, first and foremost, must avoid finishing tied on points without securing a victory. In the event of a tie without a Ferrari win, McLaren would claim the title due to having more second-place finishes this season. However, if Ferrari wins in Abu Dhabi, it would secure the title thanks to a greater number of victories. But there's more…
– Ferrari becomes world champion if it ties on points with McLaren but wins the Abu Dhabi race. For this to happen, McLaren must not finish 3rd and 4th. Essentially, if McLaren finishes 3rd and 4th, a Ferrari one-two finish with the fastest lap would not suffice.
– If both McLarens finish outside the points, Ferrari would only need a 4th and 5th place finish to clinch the title.
