Lando Norris and his model girlfriend Magui Corceiro looked elated as they posed with his Formula One Championship trophy in Uzbekistan on Friday night.
The 26-year-old made history on Sunday when he became the first British driver since Lewis Hamilton some five years ago to win the Drivers' Championship.
He beat Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen to the title with a third-placed finish in Abu Dhabi, gushing as he crossed the finish line, “Thank you guys. You made a kid's dream come true. Thank you guys. I love you mum, I love you dad, thanks for everything.”
Norris clinched the title in a tense Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last Sunday, beating Max Verstappen by two points and McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by 13 in what went down to the wire as a three-way fight.
F1's rules state that champions do not collect their trophy until their end-of-season prizegiving gala, where all the champions from FIA-governed series' attend.
The F1 championship award is considered the centerpiece of the gala.
Four-time champion Verstappen and runner-up for 2025, did not attend the awards due to illness, but a video message was broadcast with the Dutchman congratulating McLaren and Norris.
