The sun sets on Abu Dhabi and the 2025 F1 season. Meg and Spanners break down the race where Lando Norris clinched his first Formula 1 World Championship with a tense third-place finish behind Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri. We also explore how Charles Leclerc, George Russell, and other contenders shaped the championship fight, revisit the late-race controversies including Yuki Tsunoda’s penalty and questions around Red Bull’s tactics, and examine what this all means for the drivers and teams heading into next season.
