McLaren Wins Constructors' Championship in Abu Dhabi

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concluded the F1 season with Lando Norris winning the race and securing the constructors' championship for McLaren, while Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari finished second and third, respectively. Max Verstappen, who had already clinched the drivers' title earlier, finished sixth after receiving a 10-second penalty for colliding with Oscar Piastri on the first lap. Sergio Pérez, Verstappen's teammate, faced a disappointing end to his season, retiring early after a collision. This race marked Lewis Hamilton's last with Mercedes, where he expressed gratitude for his career amid emotional farewells from several drivers. Verstappen's achievements this season place him among the elite F1 champions, ranking alongside legends like Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. With the 2024 season concluded, focus is already shifting towards the next season as teams assess their strategies and driver line-ups.
