Lando Norris made history in 2025 by winning the Formula 1 world championship, joining the elite group of F1 champions.
Despite being considered a top contender after a strong finish the previous year, Norris faced tough competition from his teammate Oscar Piastri who led the standings for most of the season.
A setback at the Dutch Grand Prix put Norris at a 34-point deficit, but he fought back with consistent performances to overtake Piastri after the Mexico City Grand Prix.
In the season finale, Norris secured the championship with a podium finish, edging out Max Verstappen for the title.
By winning with McLaren, Norris follows in the footsteps of F1 legends like Lauda, Prost, and Senna, becoming the 35th driver to claim the prestigious title.
