Media pen is empty - bar one camera, and new world champion Norris is still down there. He’s got a press conference to follow this as well.

A fan taunted Lando after Australia 2024 about not having a win in Formula 1 yet. He didn’t forget. And he didn’t forgive. 🏆

RECORD BROKEN 🚨 McLaren have taken 34 podiums in 2025, breaking the all-time record for most podiums in a single season. They surpass Mercedes’ 33 from 2016. What a difference a decade can make.

Lando Norris won the title by just TWO points. That’s the smallest championship margin of the entire hybrid era (since 2014) and of this points system (since 2010).

2025 is only the FOURTH season in Formula 1 history where no driver over the age of 30 has taken a pole position. The last times this happened? 1998, 2007, 2008. Moments like these usually mark a turning point - the rise of fresh talent and the quiet fade of the old guard.

At this point, I’m convinced Max Verstappen keeps track of his own stats as well as we do. 🤣
