With only three races left this season, staying connected to every high-stakes moment is essential. Here are five reasons why every F1 fan should make sure they don’t miss a second of the excitement.

1. The night that could crown a champion: In its highly anticipated second year on the F1 calendar, the Las Vegas Grand Prix promises to be an unforgettable spectacle. Under the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip, fans could witness reigning champion Max Verstappen cement his dominance or breakout contender Lando Norris keep his title hopes alive. Currently 62 points behind Verstappen, Lando must finish ahead in this race under the lights and leave with less than a 60 points deficit to first place. The stakes have never been higher, as the Drivers’ Championship could hang in the balance in this iconic setting. With beIN SPORTS CONNECT, Filipino fans can be front and center for every heart-stopping moment, ensuring they don’t miss a second of this electrifying showdown. 
2. The Constructor’s Championship showdown: While the Driver’s Championship often steals the spotlight, the battle for the Constructor’s title is equally intense. As teams push their limits to secure the coveted title, every point, pit stop, and overtake becomes critical. It now comes down to the season-ending triple header, which fans can stream with beIN SPORTS CONNECT to not miss any moment of this high-stakes showdown. Will McLaren successfully hold off Ferrari before reaching Abu Dhabi? Or will Ferrari’s late-season surge prove too strong to beat? 
3. The Final Night Race of the Season: The Qatar Grand Prix is more than just a spectacle of dazzling night lights – it’s a race packed with high-stakes drama and world record breaking moments. One of the most demanding circuits on the calendar, the Losail International Circuit pushes drivers to their limits with its abrasive surface and thrilling overtakes on its infamous main straight. This race could be pivotal in the championship battle while also shaping crucial midfield standings. With Alpine’s resurgence and Aston Martin’s fight for points, the Qatar Grand Prix guarantees excitement you won’t want to miss.
4. A season finale full of farewells: The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is always a fitting end to the season, but this year it’s shaping up to be a finale full of lasts. From what could be Lewis Hamilton’s final race in a Mercedes and Carlos Sainz ‘s in Ferarri red, to potential goodbyes to fan favorites (both new and old) like Valterri Bottas and Franco Colapinto, the Yas Marina Circuit is set to host more than just possible title-deciding moments.
