Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
BBC Radio 5 Live
Norris is the first British driver to win the top prize in Formula 1 since Sir Lewis Hamilton in 2020.
Lando Norris has won his maiden Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship after coming third in the deciding showdown in Abu Dhabi.
The accolade wraps up a clean sweep for his McLaren team, after they claimed the Constructors’ Championship in Singapore in October.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the final race of the season from pole position, but Norris coming in third meant the Dutchman was unable to overcome Norris’s points total from the season by two points.
Norris’ title victory also ends Verstappen’s four-year reign at the top of Formula 1. The Dutchman was hoping to retain his crown and win a record-equalling fifth-straight Drivers’ Championship, which would have seen him draw level with Michael Schumacher.
Norris’s teammate and title rival, Oscar Piastri, finished in second place in the race but third in the overall standings.
The 26-year-old, who celebrated his title with doughnuts on the track to complete his seventh season in the sport, is the 11th British driver to win the championship and first since Sir Lewis Hamilton in 2020.
