The battle with teammates Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen is analyzed, highlighting Max's resilience and Oscar's promising future despite late-season struggles. The podcast also reviews the final constructors' standings, applauds Williams' progress, and teases upcoming content for the winter break, including archival highlights and a live end-of-season show.
Well, there you have it, the 2025 Formula 1 World Champion has been crowned. Greg and Christian are here to debrief an emotional evening under the lights in Abu Dhabi.
*SPOILERS FOLLOW*
Lando Norris, Formula 1 World Champion. Sounds quite nice, doesn't it? The Brit held on to the podium finish he needed to take glory in 2025. Max Vertappen charging ahead to win the race wasn't enough to overturn the lead Lando had going into the final race, and an excellent move from Oscar Piastri on his team mate wasn't enough either.
