Norris cries tears of a champion
The Gazette
|December 08, 2025
LANDO Norris broke down in tears after he completed his life’s dream by winning the Formula One world championship.
The 26-year-old drove into the history books by finishing third at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and beating Max Verstappen, who won the season-finale from pole position at the Yas Marina Circuit, to take the title by just two points.
Norris’ McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri finished runner-up and had to settle for third in the title race.
The British driver was in tears on his in-lap, his voice cackling over the radio, before he left the McLaren which carried him to glory and shook hands with Verstappen and Piastri before hugging his mother, Cisca, and father, Adam, with his fluorescent crash helmet still on.
