The 2025 F1 season has come to a close with Lando Norris crowned world champion at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen may have emerged victorious at Yas Marina, but Norris only had to finish on the podium to claim the title and he did exactly that.

The British driver finished third behind team-mate Oscar Piastri, which was enough to claim his first world drivers' title and now enters the F1 history books as the 35th world champion.
