After 24 rounds, it's Lando Norris who takes his first world championship.

It's the promised land for Lando.

A magical moment for Lando Norris at the title decider in Abu Dhabi.

That was pure, raw emotion after a rollercoaster season that saw him recover a 34-point deficit and realise his childhood dream.

Lando's always been very honest and self-critical when things aren't going well.

The mental strength he showed to bounce back from such a challenging first half of the season puts any doubts about his resilience to bed.

Back in the summer, Lando told me how he's changed his psychological approach.

I try hard to make myself disconnect from things and take my mind away.

You know, I have to put work in to try, forget about a weekend and just kind of go and spend some time with my friends and do things.

Like I've had to work on trying to disconnect myself so I can spend more time away so I can come back and focus better rather than dwelling too much on certain scenarios.

How do you do that?

Is it sport, bit of golf, bit of paddle?

Yeah, many different things, but both on and off the track.

I think you're calmer outside of the car, certainly.

I think I made that observation a couple of races ago in a press conference.

You don't seem to get overly happy if it goes well.

You don't get overly doubt.

That's the impression that you give anyway.

Certainly, I don't think I'm at the level of Oscar Piastri.

Yeah, come on.
