Drama to the end in Abu Dhabi: Verstappen won the race, but the big trophy went to Norris
The 2025 Formula 1 season ended with a dramatic and memorable finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where McLaren's British driver Lando Norris secured the world championship title for the first time in his career. Although the race was won by Max Verstappen, a third place finish was enough for Norris to take the title, in a season that kept the world on edge until the final lap.
In a race where everything was on the line, Verstappen took first place, followed by Oscar Piastri, while Norris kept his cool and secured third place, the result needed to secure the title. Going into the final race, Norris led with 408 points, just 12 more than Verstappen and 16 more than Piastri. Verstappen's victory was not enough to turn the tables, while McLaren's consistent strategy paid off.
This title marks not only a personal achievement for Norris, but also the historic revival of McLaren, a team that for more than a decade had remained in the shadows of Red Bull and Mercedes. With this victory, McLaren becomes the protagonist of a new era in Formula 1, where the balance of power seems to be clearly shifting towards a new British-Dutch rivalry.
2025 was the most closely fought season of the last decade, with three drivers entering the final race with a real chance of the title. This is not just a victory for Norris, but a signal that Formula 1 is returning to what it was always meant to be, a sport that is unexpected, fierce and real.
