Lando Norris wins first F1 world championship title at Abu Dhabi GP

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. After crossing the line his team engineer told him: “That’s it mate, you are world champion, world champion!”

“Thank you, guys, you made a kid's dream come true,” he replied. “I haven’t cried in a while, I didn’t think I would cry but I did,” Norris said on the podium in the desert night at the floodlit Yas Marina circuit. “I want to thank my mum, my dad, they’ve supported me since the beginning.”
