How Lando Norris Won the F1 Title

Norris secured the title with 17 podiums from 23 races, overcoming early setbacks by improving his approach and consistency throughout the season.

  • On Sunday, Lando Norris clinched his first F1 world championship by finishing third at the Yas Marina Circuit, appearing visibly shaken with three corners remaining.
  • Norris credited changes in his preparation and professional support team for unlocking his ability, saying the second half of the season proved his stronger run secured the title.
  • Race stewards investigated Norris's pass on Yuki Tsunoda, issuing a five-second penalty that preserved Norris's podium after Oscar Piastri's opening-lap move narrowed Max Verstappen's strategy options.
  • On the podium Norris held his third-place trophy as tears welled while Cisca and Adam, Norris's parents, watched proudly and he said `This is not my world championship`.
  • Some critics argued Max Verstappen might have been more deserving after winning more races, but by Sunday evening Norris had answered questions about his form and mentality.
