Full l of Formula One World Champions from 1950 to 2025
McLaren Lando Norris clinched the Formula One World Championship in dramatic fashion on Sunday, becoming the 35th World Champion after the season finale in Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit. Needing only a podium to secure the title, Norris finished third at the Yas Marina Circuit, enough to edge out reigning champion Max Verstappen just two points.
Verstappen won the race, piling on the pressure, but it was not enough to overcome Norris’s season-long points tally of 423. Oscar Piastri, Norris’s McLaren teammate and the long-time leader in this year’s title fight, ultimately finished third in the championship with 410 points.
