F1 is getting a makeover at more than 200 miles per hour, with next season set to feature new teams, a new race and entirely new cars.

Lando Norris won his first F1 world title despite Max Verstappen finishing first in the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Norris needed a podium finish to secure his maiden world championship and came home in P3 after his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri passed him on the first lap.

Lewis Hamilton's dream move to Ferrari resulted in a nightmare first season. The 40-year-old British driver's quest to win a record-breaking eighth Formula 1 title with his new team failed dismally, with Hamilton not even getting on the podium in a Grand Prix race.

Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri all could win the F1 championship depending on their result at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this Sunday.

Lando Norris may be champion on the track, but it’s a different story in the race to financial supremacy as F1’s top ten earners revved up an estimated $363 million in salary and bonuses this year.

It’s one richest sports in the world but it still needs to adapt to the times. F1 is now trying to appeal to a younger fan base through deals with Netflix and Lego. Plus it's trying to break that lucrative US market with races in Las Vegas and huge broadcasting deals.

Vettel was always the outside bet. He’d become F1’s youngest race winner in 2008, aged 21, but the pressure of his first championship fight through 2010 had tolled at points with some on-track errors. At no point had he led the standings, and it was only thanks to a late-season surge with wins in Japan and Brazil that he’d stayed in the hunt.
