Lando Norris says 'I've lived my dream' after winning first F1 world title.
McLaren driver Lando Norris has hailed his first Formula 1 world championship win as a "dream come true" and expressed gratitude to his family, particularly his parents, who he claims helped him achieve his goal.
Norris, 25, became the youngest British driver to claim the title in Abu Dhabi last weekend. He secured the championship by finishing second in the final race, behind teammate Lando's teammate Oscar Piastri for whom Norris will now compete against next season.
"I wouldn't be here without my parents," Norris said at a press conference on Monday. "They've sacrificed so much for me to have this opportunity, and I just want to say thank you to them and the whole McLaren team for believing in me and giving me the chance to achieve my dream."
Norris's victory marked a significant milestone in his young career, and he acknowledged that it was not just about him. "This isn't just about me; it's our team," he said. "It's the people who have worked with me throughout the year, the engineers, the mechanics, everyone who has contributed to this win."
The win is also a testament to Norris's growth and development as a driver over the past few seasons. He has shown tremendous potential, but has faced setbacks due to injury and inconsistency.
For now, however, Norris will bask in the glory of his championship win. "I'm just going to enjoy this moment," he said. "It's been an incredible journey, and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to achieve my dream."

Will Norris be able to maintain his momentum or will he face increased pressure from his new teammate? It's also got me thinking about the role of team management and support staff... do you think McLaren has done enough to keep their drivers happy and motivated? And what about the impact on young drivers like Norris - will this title win inspire others to follow in his footsteps, or will it create a sense of complacency?
