F1 NATION: A famous win for McLaren as Hamilton bids farewell to Mercedes – it's our Abu Dhabi GP review
Share
Abu Dhabi marked not just the end of the 2024 season, but the end of an era in many ways. McLaren ended a 26-year barren run by finally winning the constructors' title again, while Lewis Hamilton saw his record-breaking spell as a Mercedes driver draw to a close, and the F1 Nation crew are here to dissect it all.
Tom Clarkson is joined in the Yas Marina paddock by F1 TV presenter Laura Winter and Sean Kelly, F1's Virtual Statman, to discuss all the events and emotions from the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
McLaren are constructors’ world champions for the first time since 1998. How have they achieved such a transformation and where can they go from here? There is reaction from race winner Lando Norris, Team Principal Andrea Stella and Director of Trackside Operations, Mark Norris, as they reflect on an incredible season that featured six Grands Prix victories.
Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc both finished on the podium in their final race as team mates but Ferrari missed out on the title by 14 points. Could they mount a comeback next year to take the title, or will McLaren's rate of development continue?
