Dre's Race Review: F1's 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix | Motorsport101 Verstappen falls just short in victory, as Lando Norris proves a different kind of winner, won a very different kind of Championship. Dre wraps up the 2025 F1 World Championship.

Lando Norris' Championship goes against everything we're told about Motorsport. From its false-machismo and ruthlessness, to that push for perfection. And that's what makes it so great.

For the final time in 2025, let's review the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. #F1 www.motorsport101.com/dres-race-re...

The only team principal who enjoyed it was Horner. He loved them. (Says a lot)

Sent it to the middle kid, his reply "looks cool, bit like a Lexus though?"

He's not a follower of corporate car ownership structures but can spot a design language it seems!

Yeah it’s sounds ace. They are getting him a prototype engine out of the collection to refurbish and build a show stand for so it can be shown. Engine stripping and welding, bloody brilliant.

On Tuesday this week I went with my middle kid to talk about work experience at The British Motor Museum, he's getting 2 weeks in their workshop next year.

We got a tour around the workshop and look what was in getting prepped for a future exhibition!

Proper MAX POWER.

But one of the many fascinating things about Badenoch is that she seems unable to accept β€œincompetence” as the answer to the question β€œwhy did the government do that thing?” This refusal is all the more surprising when you remember that she was a minister in Boris Johnson’s government. She has seen incompetence up close. Perhaps that’s the problem: when you’ve lived through the technicolour widescreen shambles that was the last Conservative administration, Starmer’s dreary disasters simply can’t compare.

Do report them as spam, it makes a massive difference to them operationally if folk do that. Means their emails are less likely to be delivered to other people.
