Lando Norris led the title by 12 points going into the season finale, and just needed to finish on the podium to become the world champion.

As the race ended, Zak Brown took to the team radio and congratulated the Briton on becoming a world champion. Norris, on the other hand, was all emotional and was shedding tears of happiness. As he reached the start finish straight, he celebrated by performing donuts in the MCL39, before parking up.
