The McLaren driver spent Sunday night into Monday morning celebrating in Abu Dhabi, before digesting his triumph with BBC Sport in a hotel on Yas Island, a stone's throw from the F1 track. Norris is relaxed, good humoured and chatty as he reviews his journey. Next, he is heading to the McLaren factory, to analyse this year, and for work in the simulator, already thinking about next season. There are more celebrations to come this week, including picking up the official championship trophy at a prizegiving ceremony in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on Friday, before the McLaren Christmas party in London…...

(0:49) Lando Norris said he celebrated winning his first Formula 1 world championship until six in the morning and ended his historic night with a McDonald's. Norris marked becoming just the 11th driver from Britain to win an F1 title at a glitzy afterparty at the W Hotel which sits on top of the Yas Marina Circuit, where only hours earlier he realised his childhood dream. Videos emerged of the 26-year-old toasting his success by singing Queen's "We are the Champions" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" surrounded by his friends and family. Asked what time he left the party, Norris replied: "6 a.m. and then a little McDonald's. I really wanted some Chicken McNuggets but it was the morning by then so they didn't have any left....

27+ min ago (1012+ words) The slow pace of the federal antitrust suit lodged against NASCAR continued Monday at the start of the second week of the trial, with high-profile witnesses not expected to make it to the stand anytime soon. PAST TRIAL COVERAGE: Michael Jordan testifies in NASCAR antitrust trial, says he had no choice but to sue Jeffrey Kessler, lead attorney for the two teams suing NASCAR, indicated he plans to call NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps after an expected lengthy testimony from an accountant who will analyze team finances. After Phelps, Kessler said he will call Hall of Fame team owner Richard Childress and finally NASCAR chairman Jim France. But the case is moving far too slow for U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell's liking and he's repeatedly asked both 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, as well as NASCAR, to speed it up. Monday was…...

27+ min ago (302+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 5:13 PM EST For years, Stephen Nasse has carried one of the heaviest burdens in short-track racing. Back in 2019, he crossed the line at Snowball Derby first, only to have that win stripped in post-race technical inspection because his brakes failed scrutiny. It was a crushing blow: a moment of triumph erased, the trophy handed instead to another driver, and Nasse sent packing in frustration. For many, the "Room of Doom," as the tech area is known, became a symbol of how fragile victory can be at Five Flags Speedway. Since then, Stephen Nasse kept showing up. He kept racing hard, kept grinding laps, often running near the front, even if the top step eluded him. Then came the 2025 Snowball Derby, and when the checkered flag fell this time, history finally tipped in his favor. In a rain-delayed 58th running of…...

35+ min ago (627+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 5:06 PM EST For years, Helmut Marko has been the sharp-edged conscience of Red Bull Racing. He spotted Max Verstappen when he was just a teenager. He pushed him into a Toro Rosso seat at seventeen, years earlier than most F1 drivers get their shot. And he stood by him through every storm. But all those years later, today, that same mentorship is being questioned. He built the junior program that spat out Sebastian Vettel and then Max, and he never apologized for cutting anyone who wasn't fast enough. Love him or hate him, Marko was Red Bull. So after Verstappen's upset title loss, when whispers started that the 82-year-old boss might be done, people stopped scrolling and started listening. Word out of Europe is that Marko is retiring, and it's not a "maybe" anymore. Multiple big outlets say the decision…...

52+ min ago (687+ words) PARIS -- Lewis Hamilton's dream move to Ferrari resulted in a nightmare first season. The 40-year-old British driver's quest to win a record-breaking eighth Formula 1 title with his new team failed dismally, with Hamilton not even getting on the podium in a Grand Prix race. Matters became so frustrating that at one point Hamilton suggested Ferrari should replace him with another driver. Australian driver Jack Brabham was 40 when he won the F1 title in 1966, but Hamilton fell well short of matching that feat. Hamilton won a short-format sprint race in China in March, but in the 24 main F1 races did not finish higher than fourth. He took no pole positions and placed a disappointing sixth in the F1 standings, a sizable 86 points behind his teammate Charles Leclerc in fifth. Overall, the former Mercedes star has won only two F1 races over the past four seasons....

58+ min ago (587+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 4:42 PM EST December 19 " that's the hard deadline Judge Kenneth Bell has given for the NASCAR lawsuit. He made it crystal clear he doesn't want to let this trial drag a minute beyond it. Yet as Week 2 of one of the most consequential legal battles in NASCAR history kicked off, the pace inside the courtroom remained anything but urgent, and this has started to irk the jury. 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports are still working through their own witnesses, and NASCAR's attorneys have already signaled they plan to take just as long, effectively "splitting the trial in half." With both sides digging in, the end of the week no longer looks like a realistic finish line, which has led to frustration among Judge Bell and co. The second week of the NASCAR lawsuit trial opened with more frustration than momentum,…...
