The grandstands in Abu Dhabi roared like a raging sea. Everyone was standing, no one was breathing, and you could feel your hands shaking. The last lap of the 2025 season – the last chance, the last meters, the last fight. And at the forefront: Lando Norris, your Lando. The monitor showed the orange McLaren hurtling into the final sector. “Just a moment… please,” you muttered, you didn’t know why – he didn’t hear you and couldn’t. The McLaren mechanics stood huddled against the fence, papaya color mixing with tension. Everyone knew what was at stake. Lando needed to finish third. Zak Brown spoke into the radio: “Lando, final sector. Bring it home, champ.”And you felt your chest tighten. Champon. The word you both dreamed of. Him on the track. You by his side. The last corner The car shot across the track like an orange arrow. Everyone jumped, screamed, a hand shot out to your mouth. And then… he crossed the finish line. The double checkered flag. An explosion of joy. And in the headphones of millions of viewers: “LANDO NORRIS… WORLD CHAMPION 2025!” You felt your first tear fall. Not from sadness – from the crazy, wonderful feeling that all his hard work… all his falls… all his evening conversations with you about whether he had what it took… had finally turned into a moment that belonged to him. On stage When you ran into the parc fermé, he had already jumped out of the car. He hadn’t even had time to take off his helmet, but as soon as he saw you, the entire track seemed to go silent. He ran over to you and grabbed you by the waist. “We did it,” he breathed as you placed your hands on his helmet. “No. You did it,” you smiled through your tears. Lando laughed, in that typical way of his that you know better than anyone. “I couldn’t have done it without you,” he said quietly. And then… he lifted you into the air in a hug. The mechanics behind you clapped, shouted, and sprayed champagne. The track roared. And he finally took off his helmet. His hair was sweaty, his eyes red with emotion – but his smile… was the brightest you’d ever seen. The Trophy As he stood on the top step, he looked straight at you. Not at the cameras, not at the crowds. At you. He held the trophy above his head, and you knew that moment would be yours forever. And when he came down after the ceremony, he placed the trophy in your hands. “This belongs to both of us,” he whispered. And you kissed him—in front of everyone, in front of the world, in front of history. That day, Lando Norris became the 2025 World Champion.
