Lando Norris has finally done it: after years of McLaren not being any good, last year’s championship battle that was never really there, and the entire season of inconsistent results, he is the Formula 1 world champion. He is the first Englishman to claim the title since Lewis Hamilton in 2020, and McLaren’s first since 2008.
He, however, won’t have a new F1 video game to celebrate this win with. Electronic Arts has confirmed that there will be no standalone F1 26 next year. Instead, F1 25 will receive a paid “premium content update” that adds the new cars, teams, drivers, and rules coming with F1’s big 2026 overhaul.
