Norris, who grew up in Glastonbury, only secured his maiden victory at the Miami Grand Prix in May 2024, but 18 months on has become just the 35th different driver in F1 history to claim the world championship. He’s only the third British driver this century, following Hamilton and Jenson Button, and the eighth ever to lift the title.

“That’s special,” Wauman remarked as she viewed footage of Hamilton, who subsequently declared himself “really, really happy” for Norris, congratulating her son in the media pen.

Wauman, who repeatedly had to stop as she grappled with her tears of happiness, said: “I’m emotionally drained – so happy for McLaren and all the fans. A lot of sacrifices – by the time he was eight, Lando and his brother Ollie were competing [in karting]. I feel like he missed a lot of childhood.”, reports the Express.

“The last few laps took ages! They were calling us down with 10 laps to go … the race is not over. Anything could still happen! But we did it. I don’t know what the plan is [for tonight]. Normally I just walk back to the hotel and I start reading my book, and I was planning on doing the same. I don’t know what is happening!”.

Speaking with fellow Briton Button on the podium in Abu Dhabi, Norris paid tribute to those closest to him: “It’s incredible. It’s pretty surreal. I’ve dreamed about this for a long, long time. Everyone does. A lot goes into a season like this. A lot of ups. A lot of downs, but none of that matters as long as you come out on top. That’s what we managed to do.

“I did it with an incredible team. It’s not just this year or the last seven or eight years I’ve been with McLaren, but the last 16 or 17 years of my life trying to chase this dream. Today we all did it, so I’m pretty happy.

“My best performances this year came when I needed them the most. When I was on the back foot is when I did my best and showed the most of me. I managed to get the gap I needed to perform and do what I needed to do today.

“I’m proud. I’ve got my whole family, my girlfriend, a lot of people here. I would hate to embarrass them on a day like today. My mum and dad let me share this dream and today I got to share it with them.”

The radiant Bristolian told Sky Sports in a separate interview: “I’m happy I cried. Not many things made me cry but today was one. I didn’t know if I would but I came under the tunnel on the last lap and I thought of my mum, and that thought made me cry, just thinking of her and how happy she would be, and my dad.”

Norris’ father Adam said: “I sat on my own in a quiet room and watched it. I didn’t come out until the last lap. Beautiful. A really good feeling. Champion of the world. He’s fast, isn’t he?”.
