Lando Norris world champion glory as Yuki Tsunoda punished – Abu Dhabi GP Winners and Losers
At the Yas Marina Circuit, the 2025 F1 drivers’ title was decided as Max Verstappen won his eighth grand prix of the season, but all eyes were on Lando Norris who finished third to become world champion. McLaren executed their strategy flawlessly, with Norris clinching the title by two points over Verstappen. Despite early pressure from Charles Leclerc, Norris kept his nerves in check to secure the championship. As the dust settled, Verstappen emerged as a winner for his stellar performance in Abu Dhabi, but fell short of clinching the title. On the other hand, Yuki Tsunoda failed to support Red Bull effectively, displaying a disappointing performance that may have cost the team valuable points. Kimi Antonelli, on the other hand, had a disheartening end to his rookie season with Mercedes, struggling for competitiveness and finishing in 15th place in the final race.
