6 Winners and 5 Losers from Abu Dhabi – Who ended 2025 on a high note at the season finale?

As Lando Norris partied hard on Sunday night to celebrate his first Formula 1 World Championship, many of his rivals left Yas Marina Circuit bound for a winter break wondering what might have been. Lawrence Barretto picks his winners and losers from the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix...

Winner: Lando Norris

Lando Norris admitted he was a little nervous before Qualifying and again before the race but he showed little sign of that on track on either occasion.

The McLaren racer built a rhythm through Qualifying to end up on the front row next to closest challenger Max Verstappen and then ticked off his first target by getting through the first corner unscathed.
