We’ve finally reached the end of the 2025 Formula One season — and what a finale it was. With a changing of the guard in the sport, Lando Norris has officially been crowned the 2025 World Drivers’ Champion.

Even though the season has just wrapped up, the F1 news cycle is already on fire. There’s no shortage of storylines to unpack, but for this final race review of the year, I’m keeping it focused on my own take: Lando’s long-awaited title victory, Max Verstappen’s once-again monumental performance, and the standout season-ending drives from both Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc.

I’m hoping to drop a couple more episodes before the end of the year, but for now, thank you all for listening, sharing your thoughts, questions, and opinions throughout the season. Buckle up — 2026 and the new regulations are right around the corner.
