Lando Norris: Road to World Champion charts his extraordinary rise to become motorsport's 2025 standout star. From a shy, gaming-obsessed teenager to Britain's newest Formula One World Champion, Norris' journey is anything but straightforward. Despite starting out as an early fan favourite at McLaren - funny, relatable and refreshingly vulnerable - questions persisted about whether he had the ruthlessness required to reach the sport's summit. But now, after recently becoming the Winner of the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award and gaining an F1 title win, it seems like the only way is up for Norris.

Here, Formula One journalist Nate Saunders of ESPN - a leading global multiplatform sports brand - reveals that Norris's story is ultimately one of perseverance and authenticity. The dramatic 2025 title fight, against teammate Oscar Piastri and the formidable Max Verstappen, pushed him harder than ever and went down to the last second, but in the pressure cooker of Abu Dhabi he proved his mettle.

In a full-colour celebration featuring over 100 photographs, Nate Saunders traces Lando's journey to win the title and offers insider access to how he rewrote the script for what a champion can look like. This is the race-by-race story of a young man who faced his fears, silenced the doubters and won the biggest prize in motorsport - his way.
