For the first time in his career, Lando Norris can call himself a Formula One champion.
Norris clinched the 2025 title in a tense final race of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, finishing in third place and scoring just enough points to hold off his opposition. Max Verstappen, who entered the finale 12 points shy of Norris in the standings, won the race from pole position but ultimately didn’t close the gap enough to win his fifth straight championship.
