On December 7, 2025, Lando Norris clinched his first Formula 1 World Championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, narrowly beating Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri by just two points. Verstappen won the race, but Norris’s third-place finish secured the title after a season-long three-way battle. The 2026 season will introduce major technical changes, including the removal of DRS.
