Lando Norris capped off an incredible 2025 season by claiming his first Formula 1 drivers’ championship, marking a historic milestone for both himself and McLaren.
The Briton’s title-winning campaign was shaped by seven defining moments that highlighted his consistency, skill, and resilience throughout the season. Each of these events played a crucial role in securing the championship and cementing his place among the sport’s elite.
Norris became the 11th British driver to win an F1 championship, ending a 16-year wait for a new British world champion since Jenson Button lifted the trophy in 2009 with Brawn GP.
At 26 years old, Norris also achieved a rare feat for McLaren, becoming the first driver to deliver a drivers’ championship for the team since Lewis Hamilton’s debut title in 2008.
His breakthrough season not only marks a personal triumph but also signals a resurgence for McLaren in Formula 1, restoring the team to its position among the sport’s frontrunners.
