Britain’s Lando Norris is the new F1 world champion in 2025, let that sink in for a moment. Max Verstappen’s long reign at the summit (four consecutive titles and more than 1400 days) is finally over after British star Norris claimed the title following a thrilling decider at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday.

Sensational: Norris managed to allay self-doubts to script a remarkable maiden crown.

The Briton finished third in the season-closer behind race winner Verstappen and the other title challenger, McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, to claim the crown by two points.
