Despite their fierce rivalry on the track, the two drivers maintain a strong friendship off it. They often travel together to races aboard Verstappen's private jet, a convenient arrangement as both live in Monaco.

Verstappen’s latest triumph marks his fourth consecutive F1 championship, making him one of the youngest drivers in history to achieve such a feat. The only driver to secure four consecutive titles at a younger age was Sebastian Vettel.

Lando Norris, while still chasing his first championship, has earned three Grand Prix victories and 25 podium finishes. He secured second place in the recently concluded season, his highest career ranking to date, finishing behind Verstappen.
