"That's one of the things that makes me most proud, Norris said. I feel like I have just managed to win it the way I wanted to win it, which was not by being someone I'm not. Not trying to be as aggressive as Max or as forceful as other champions might have been in the past, I'm happy. I just won it my way"
"by being a fair driver, by trying to be an honest driver. At times, could I have been more aggressive and got off the brakes and had a few people over? I certainly could have done. Is that the way I want to go racing? Is that me? It's not."
"I felt calm until three corners to go, I started to shake a little bit, he said. Then I got to see the team when I went over the line and this is a moment that I'll never forget."
Lando Norris won his first Formula One world championship by finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, securing the title by two points ahead of Max Verstappen, who won the race but could not overcome Norris's pre-race 12-point lead. Norris expressed pride in winning through fair, non-aggressive driving rather than adopting a more forceful style. Emotional celebrations followed with his McLaren team and family, and the final moments produced nerves despite appearing in control. Norris recovered from a mid-season low after a mechanical retirement at Zandvoort, mounted a comeback from 34 points behind Oscar Piastri, and adjusted his team personnel to sharpen his approach.
