Sainz in second, Leclerc finishes third in tense raceMcLaren now have nine constructors’ championships
Lando Norris won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for McLaren and with it secured the constructors’ championship for his team, their first since 1998. In a tense race in the season finale, Norris had to beat Ferrari on his own from pole after his teammate Oscar Piastri was all but removed from the fight on the first lap, hit by Max Verstappen.
Norris held his nerve against a determined effort from the Scuderia, who did all they could with Carlos Sainz in second and Charles Leclerc in third. Lewis Hamilton, in his final race for Mercedes, sealed a superb comeback drive to take fourth from 16th on the grid.
