Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri look on with an Abu Dhabi track behind them

The 2025 F1 standings are now in the books and Britain's Lando Norris is your new world drivers' champion.

The McLaren star pipped four-time champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull) by just two points despite finishing only third at Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Verstappen roared to another brilliant race victory at Yas Marina to end a terrific fightback in the second half of the season, having been 104 points off the pace at one stage. But he was still two points behind the new king Norris in the overall season standings, ending a 1457-day reign at the top.

Oscar Piastri (McLaren) finished third in the final standings after claiming second in Abu Dhabi to end a fine season for the Australian.
