ABU DHABI - Lando Norris coolly claimed victory in a tense, emotional and incident-filled Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Dec 8 to deliver McLaren's first constructors' championship in 26 years as Lewis Hamilton finished a remarkable fourth in his final race for Mercedes.
The 25-year-old Norris came home 5.832 seconds ahead of Carlos Sainz and his teammate Charles Leclerc to end Ferrari's title challenge on a night of accidents, penalties and tantrums under the floodlights at the Yas Marina Circuit.
"Papaya on top!" said Norris on his slowdown lap after the season-closing race.
"Congrats to everyone. Incredible. So proud of you all. You all deserve this. It's been a special one. Next year is going to be my year too."
