"It was like a movie, the 26-year-old said. As much as I was trying to avoid every bump possible I was also remembering all of those moments from the very beginning, driving a go-kart for the first time ever, my first time on the track in a go-kart, the races I had, the karting world championship I won in 2014."
"I had a sausage McMuffin. Was it the breakfast of champions? Certainly not, I regretted it straightaway. The Briton had to hold his nerve to see out a tense fight in Abu Dhabi and pull off some bold overtakes to ensure he claimed the third place he needed but said that at the close he was unsure how he would feel when he finally took the championship he had dreamed of winning since he was a child."
Lando Norris secured his first Formula One world championship by finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, beating Max Verstappen by two points despite Verstappen winning the race. Oscar Piastri remained in contention for much of the season but did not prevent Norris from claiming the title. Norris experienced vivid, movie-like recollections of his karting beginnings and seven years with McLaren during the final moments. He celebrated with friends until 6am at the W hotel, ended the night at McDonald’s with a sausage McMuffin he immediately regretted, and executed bold overtakes to hold his nerve in a tense finale.
