Leclerc on balance has been the fastest qualifier in the season but Verstappen always had a superior race pace which allowed him to win races despite not always being on the front row of the grid.

Sebastian Vettel was outperformed by Leclerc in his last two years at Ferrari while he never managed to challenge Lewis Hamilton for the world title when he had a competitive car.

Bagnaia finished the final race in Valencia in P9, which was enough to see him through to the crown.

Last month, we had the opportunity to watch the Malaysian GP at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC). It was a unique experience, and one that also revealed a lot about the motorcycling culture of Malaysia. Motorcycling is serious in this Southeast Asian country, and almost every rider knows more than a thing or two about MotoGP.

McLaren managed the first sub 2 second pitstop since 2021 when the FIA changed the rules around pitstops due to safety concerns.

The deal allows the luxury carmaker to supply its battery partners with raw material, starting in 2026, including a qualification period, in order to rapidly scale up production of fully electric vehicles, it said in a statement.

Records continued to tumble as Verstappen won a 14th race in the season and broke the record for most points in a season with two races to spare.
