F1 2025: Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

After nearly 10 months of witnessing epic on-track clashes, Formula 1's 75th anniversary celebrations came to an end with the final race of the season, the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The grand finale is the deciding race for Red Bull's Max Verstappen versus the two McLaren drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Not only that, this finale marked the end of the era for Yuki Tsunoda as a full-time F1 driver as well as the Sauber team, as they became the Audi F1 team for 2026. Emotions aside, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the season's hall of judgment where only one will be crowned the champion.

Congratulations to Lando Norris for becoming the F1 2025 world champion!

And that concludes F1's 75th anniversary celebrations. See you next season.
