WHY CARLOS SAINZ THINKS OSCAR PIASTRI SHOCKED LANDO NORRIS DURING THE 2025 SEASON
Lando Norris is the 2025 F1 World Champion! Explore how he overcame Oscar Piastri’s challenge and Carlos Sainz’s shock verdict.
Okay, here's a rewrite of that F1 article:
Most of the recent F1 season saw Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri battling it out for their first world title.
In the end, Lando Norris clinched it in Abu Dhabi. His third-place finish at Yas Marina was enough to secure the championship.
Oscar Piastri ended up in third place overall.
The Aussie was leading the championship for 15 out of 24 race weekends, but a string of unfortunate mistakes later in the season messed up Piastri's title hopes.
Still, Piastri's season had many good points. He snagged seven wins, six poles, and 16 podiums in only his third year in F1 and surprised everyone, even his teammate at McLaren.
Carlos Sainz thinks Lando Norris was surprised by how well Oscar Piastri did in 2025.
During Williams' last Team Torque podcast for 2025, Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz chatted about different stuff from Sainz's first season with the Williams team.
Of course, the drivers' championship came up, and Sainz said he was happy for his old teammate's first title, saying, I'm honestly happy for him. I think he must have had a tough year up here.
His year got off to a rough start. I think it's the first time he seemed surprised by how good Oscar was. He had a potential championship-winning ride and needed to make the most of it.
I remember after Canada when he and Oscar bumped, and it was his fault. I remember seeing him, and he didn’t look too happy.
But it shows it's not about how you start; it's about how you finish. And he got over those problems well.
He had a great second part of the season to get the job done because, in the end, the car was good enough, and he made the most of it.
Sainz and Norris are good friends from when they were teammates. Sainz had said before that Norris told him about his biggest problem at McLaren during the tough title fight.
Alex Albon was also impressed with Lando Norris during the 2025 F1 season.
Albon is close to Norris, too, from their time moving up the racing ladder together.
They both started in F1 in 2019, and Albon said he was impressed with Norris' title-winning season this year.
He said, I think it was a really impressive year for him, just in terms of, I think that people don’t understand—mentally, he’s also strong, kind of in how he came back into the mid part of the season.
And then there were a lot of things that didn’t go their way. Vegas, Zandvoort. But still, he had a really strong second half of the season. I think he proved himself to a lot of people.
Sainz said, More than strong, he just kept doing his best. He’s a great Formula 1 driver. Maybe better than people think.
If you look at his last three years, since McLaren got more competitive, he’s been really quick in both qualifying and the race.
It was just the start of the year that made people doubt whether this year’s car suited him or something. It looked tricky at first, but then they got over those problems.
THE 2026 ULTIMATUM: WHY NEXT SEASON IS "MAKE OR BREAK" FOR LEWIS HAMILTON
After a winless 2025 debut, Lewis Hamilton faces a pivotal year. See why Steiner believes the 7x champ is nearing the F1 exit.
Guenther Steiner, who used to run the Haas team, thinks Lewis Hamilton might quit Formula 1 if Ferrari can't get to the top of the Driver's Championship by 2026—he thinks that season will be super important for the racing star.
Hamilton had a tough first year with Ferrari, ending up sixth in the F1 rankings with 156 points.
That was 86 points behind his teammate, Charles Leclerc, and he didn't even get on the podium once, which is a first for him in a full season.
He often said he was bummed out about how his Ferrari debut was going.
Back in November, after the Las Vegas Grand Prix, he told Sky Sports, I feel awful. This has been the worst season ever, and it just keeps getting worse no matter how hard I try. I'm trying everything I can, both in and out of the car.
Hamilton looked pretty sad a lot during the season because he couldn't really fight for race wins.
Steiner told Sports Krone, I think if Ferrari has a good car next season, Hamilton might be able to turn things around. If they are more competitive, Lewis might find his drive again. But if things stay the same, next season will probably be his last in Formula 1. He's not going to go through that again. The situation is tough for him, and you could see that in every interview. So, the next season will be key for him.
What's Hamilton saying about quitting?
When the media asks Hamilton about his F1 future, he doesn't want to talk about retiring.
At the end of the season, when someone asked him what he would say to those who think he might retire soon, the 40-year-old said, I wouldn't say anything to them. None of them have done what I've done, so they don't know anything more than I do.
Last summer, after some rumors that he might leave early, Hamilton said he's staying at Ferrari until his contract is up.
He said, For those writing stories about me thinking about not racing, I've just started here with Ferrari. I've been here for a few years, and I'm in it for the long run, so there's no question about what I'm focused on achieving with this team. There are zero doubts, so please stop making stuff up.
In 2026, everyone will still be wondering about Hamilton's future in F1, mainly if Ferrari keeps struggling with the new rules. And if Steiner is right, another year of not competing for a championship could be the end for him.
MAX VERSTAPPEN NAMED PEER-VOTED DRIVER OF THE YEAR FOR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE SEASON
Max Verstappen wins his 5th straight F1 peer award, beating champion Lando Norris. Lewis Hamilton drops out of the top 10 for the first time.

Max Verstappen copped his fifth straight driver-of-the-year award in Formula 1's secret peer vote, even though he almost grabbed a fifth title in 2025 but didn't quite make it.
The drivers all voted in secret, except for four guys. The Red Bull driver beat out Lando Norris, who just won the world championship, for the number one spot.
The voting worked like the normal F1 points system. Drivers ranked their top 10 rivals. Verstappen got 25 points from six votes to win.
Norris, who won his first championship after a crazy season, came in second in the driver rankings for the second year running.
The McLaren driver won the title after fighting off pressure from Verstappen and his teammate, Oscar Piastri, all season long.
George Russell took third, moving up one spot from last year. The Mercedes driver had a killer season with two wins and seven more podiums.
Piastri was fourth, up one spot, even though his championship hopes fizzled out near the end. The Aussie was leading by 34 points at one point before his performance dropped off.
Charles Leclerc finished fifth, down two spots, even though he got everything he could out of Ferrari's SF-25. The Monegasque driver had seven podiums during a tough season that saw Ferrari finish fourth.
Carlos Sainz held onto sixth after a great comeback at Williams. After a rough start, the Spaniard grabbed two podiums in a strong second half of the season.
Fernando Alonso jumped two spots to seventh, and the two-time world champion had some crazy drives in Aston Martin's AMR25.
Alex Albon took eighth after his best season with Williams, while rookies Oliver Bearman and Isack Hadjar rounded out the top 10, getting props for their awesome first seasons.
Pierre Gasly almost made the list, even with 10 Q3 appearances in Alpine's tricky A525.
Lewis Hamilton, who's won seven world championships, didn't show up in the rankings, which is a first since they started doing this poll. It shows how rough his first season at Ferrari was.
The four drivers who skipped the vote were Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll, and Yuki Tsunoda.
