Sunday's main event at Yas Marina Circuit saw Lando Norris line up on the front row in his papaya machinery, with team-mate Oscar Piastri just behind in P2.

With only a 21-point lead over championship rivals Ferrari heading into the race, McLaren were hoping to secure their first constructors' title since 1998.

With the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc having been handed a 10-place grid penalty, the Scuderia looked unlikely to put up a fight, however heading into Turn 1, disaster struck for McLaren and Piastri as the Red Bull of Max Verstappen collided with the papaya car.

After recovering his vehicle and making his way through the pack, Piastri still managed to secure vital points for McLaren, finishing P10, but it was the victory for Norris that secured the title for the constructors' championship.
