Lando wins Abu Dhabi race to give McLaren F1 Constructors’ Championship in 2024

Lando Norris secures resurgent McLaren the result they needed to win their first Constructors’ Championship since 1998; Lewis Hamilton finishes his Mercedes career in fine style with charge from 16th to fourth – including a last-lap overtake on team-mate George Russell

Having put themselves in full control of the lucrative teams’ title race by locking out the grid’s front row, McLaren experienced a more nervous race under the Yas Marina floodlights than might have otherwise been the case after Oscar Piastri was spun around by Max Verstappen into the first corner.

But Norris never put a foot wrong from pole position and kept Sainz at arm’s length across the 58 laps to claim his fourth win of the year and secure McLaren their ninth Constructors’ Championship – but first since 1998.
