  The Formula 1 season ends with a magical race ending in Abu Dhabi.  As McLaren was the hot favorite and had been expected to win the Constructors Championship, Ferrari was also close to winning, being the main competitor in the season.  As we soon move into the 2025 season, fan favourite Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc will no longer be teammates at Ferrari, as Sainz will be racing for Williams.  As well as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, Hamilton will be taking over Sainz’s spot in Ferrari and will race alongside Charles Leclerc in the 25’ season.  As fans are sad about Sainz’s departure from Ferrari, he was recently spotted in the Williams Livery.

Max Verstappen, being the majority winner of this year’s season, was followed by Lando Norris, then Charles Leclerc.

  For our 2024 Driver’s Championship, Max in Verstappen takes the title for the Driver’s Championship with 437 points.  Leading close was Lando Norris with 374 points.  

  Recently, Yuki Tsunoda was spotted in a Red Bull livery, meaning that there is a chance that Trinidad would be offered a spot, if Sergio Perez underperforms in the 2025, as Visa Cash App Racing Bulls is the sister brand of Red Bull, Tsunoda is highly anticipated to be offered a spot, if he performs well in Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.  

As the season will soon wrap up with the annual Formula One Secret Santa, fans wish Sainz, Hamilton, the best with their future teams, as the Sainz Leclerc duo, also known as the C2 era has come to an end.
