Lando Norris is Formula One’s 2025 world champion, claiming his first title with a third-place finish in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to cap a season-long battle that went down to the final race.

That clash triggered a 10-second penalty and dropped the Dutchman from fifth to 10th -- the loss of nine, precious points.

Think back to the likes of F1 world champions Jim Clark and Sir Jackie Stewart, 13-time F1 winner David Coulthard, and rally world champion Colin McRae, and talent has been a notable feature.
