After a run of College Football starts, we turn to another sport that wrapped up its season in dramatic fashion with a first-time champion. And truly a world champion. British driver Lando Norris broke a 4-year winning streak from Max Verstappen to win his first Formula 1 Championship and along with it goes the title of World's Driving Champion. He along with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri upset the Red Bull blockage in getting first and third overall (with Verstappen in between). Ironically, the Bristol, England, native did not win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen did. But he had enough points in his pocket to take home the season championship. It was a rare season coming down to the last race, when Verstappen took the title from legendary Lewis Hamilton in 2021. Is this a changing of the guard that we'll see Norris win 3 more titles or more? Will Verstappen bounce back? Will Piastri continue his surge? 2026 will tell, but the 2025 champion is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
