24 points behind with 58 points available the next two races . Max has nothing to lose but Lando/Oscar have everything to lose . I say Max has nothing to lose based on so many folks wrote him off before the summer break .

Max takes the win after McLaren blundered on pit strategy . Very poor decision , at the very least they should have split the strategy. It's all down to the last race now .

Very engaging race, that.

Often late in the season the final few races are meaningless as everything has been decided . Not this year. Will be a grim evening in the McLaren team meetings.

F1 standings as of Nov 30, 2025 with one race to go!

"In simple terms, if Verstappen wins at the Yas Marina circuit on December 7, Norris must come at least third to be crowned champion."

Congratulations to Lando Norris , he won the drivers championship by 2 points over Max .

Final 2025 Driver Standings -

Overall a very good season I thought. Next year with completely different cars will be a complete crapshoot. I am a bit worried that it may be less exciting with the greater emphasis on braking but I may be completely wrong. Also very hard to predict which cars will be most competitive in a complete change of rules. Will be interested to see how Adrian Newey does at Aston Martin and the development year at Cadillac.

I would be curious to know what the "secret sauce" Red Bull used to finish the season so strongly.

And, I wonder if the new car regs will lessen the gossip "journalism" for F1
