At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Lando Norris clinched victory, allowing McLaren to win its first Constructors' Championship since 1998. Despite Oscar Piastri's early collision with Max Verstappen, Norris managed to maintain the lead against rival Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. The success marks a triumphant resurgence for McLaren, following years of struggle, and was celebrated by the team's CEO, Zak Brown, and after significant developments throughout the season, expectations rise for the following year.
