Lando Norris

Congratulations to Lando on winning the F1 Championship.
Hard season battling with Piastri with Verstappen coming back very strongly at the tail end of the season.

He’s not everyone’s cup of tea and, personally, I’d have preferred to see George Russell in a better car but those are the cards drivers are dealt.
Who knows what the new regulations in 2026 bring and there will be 5 Brits on the grid next year (6 if you include Albion, as a British national). The winter testing will show us what the next generation cars will do but I’d be very surprised if Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes aren’t the front runners. It’ll be interesting, as well, to see what an Adrian Newey designed Aston can do.

Excellent season for Mclaren and Norris. He looked dazed and lost for words. I felt a bit sorry for Piastri but his time will come, I think he's the best driver on the grid and so likeable.

Next season Mercedes are supposed to have made big gains already. Look out for Russell.

Albon counts himself as Thai I think

Great season of formula one.  3 drivers winning 22 races between them and only 2 points separating the top 2 drivers with piastri a very close third.

Can't really get excited by watching cars run in circles with huge difficulty on many tracks to overtake. Indeed I tend to limit my watching to the first few laps as thats when most of the action happens. For sure I can see the technical aspects involved but when a sport has to artificiially manufacture overtaking manouvres by making tyre stops compulsory something is wrong to me.

He's obviously a great driver but he'd have been nowhere near the title if it wasn't for both Mclaren cars being disqualified with 2 races to go. That skid block penalty feels like one of those penalties that they wheel out when they want to make it a bit more competitive. Like 'in the side' in rugby union. Happens 15 times a game but is penalsied once sort of thing.
