Formula 1's newest World Champion, Lando Norris, made a stylish return to the track for post-season testing in Abu Dhabi, sporting a special-edition gold helmet to celebrate his maiden title triumph.

Just days after clinching the championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Norris was back in the MCL39 "mule car" to assist Pirelli with tyre testing for the 2026 regulations. While he couldn't run with the coveted No. 1 on his car just yet that status is only officially confirmed at the FIA's prize-giving ceremony later this week the gold helmet served as a striking visual marker of his new champion status.
