McLaren celebrates spectacular 9th constructor title - Norris shines!

In the spectacular finale of the Formula 1 season 2024, the Englishman Lando Norris won his fourth Grand Prix victory in Abu Dhabi and thus secured McLaren the ninth design title in the team's history. With a strategic race that made him superior to the Ferraris of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, McLaren can now catch up with the British rival Williams in the eternal leaderboard. Norris, who had to assert himself in the change of the first round against Max Verstappen and Oscar Piatri, is celebrated as vice world champion for his outstanding performance and attributes the team to a new success after difficult years, like vienna.at reported.

The end of an era for Hamilton

At the same time, Lewis Hamilton said goodbye to Mercedes after an impressive eleven -year career, which included six driver titles and eight design titles. Hamilton, who worked in a gripping race from 4th place to the 2nd place, set a crowning glory with a last fantastic maneuver, in which he overtook his teammate George Russell. Now Hamilton will switch to Ferrari for 2025 to assume the challenge of exceeding his record of seven world championships, such as The Sun reported. Hamilton's change marks the end of an era and at the same time offers the opportunity to rewrite its fate in the best known red team of Formula 1.

The season ended not only with triumphal moments. Verstappen, who was considered defending champion, was only able to take the sixth place due to a punishment and a collision. With this collision, his advance seemed to fail on another title. The tension and drama of the last round showed the overwhelming passion and the unpredictable character of racing.
