Norris, along with team-mate Oscar Piastri, led McLaren to their first constructors' championship since 1998 l♑ast year,♎ with the Briton winning four races for the team. 

His efforts, however, came up short in 👍the drivers' championship as he finished second to Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who claimed a fourth consecutive world title.

Norris claimed his fourth race win in his F1 career at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, reaching the top-60 of drive🐟rs with the most victories in the competition. 

It was also McLaren's 189th overall win, having not achieved six in a single calendar year sin🅠ce 2012 w🅰hen Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button were behind the wheel (seven).

Though Norris said that finishing second to Verstappen💙🌃 hurt, he insisted that he is ready to come back stronger this year to claim a maiden world title. 

"When that realis🅺ation ki✤nd of sets in of 'it's gone', it's a tough one," Norris told the BBC podcast F1: Back at Base.

"This i✨s what I've done since I was a kid, this is all I want to do. So, as soon as that kind of candle is gone, and it's over, it hurts."

Norris' second place was his hig🌼hest finish in the drivers' standings after he narrowed the gap to Verstappen in the final phase of the season.

He ignited his title ch🔥allenge with his first F1 victory at the Miami Grand Prix, signing off the ca💫mpaign with eight pole positions in addition to his four wins.

Norris got within 47 points with four races to go, but Verstappen's stunning wet-weat🐈her win in Brazil gave hiꦏm the opportunity to secure the title at the following race in Las Vegas.

"It's been a year when, actually, I've been pretty proud of my performance. Proud of performing under the pressure that we😼've been under, delivering when I have," Norris said. 

"I've made my mistakes and, at the 🤡same time, I've learned a lot from those mistakes.

"So for us t✅o go into next year, going 'we have what it takes, we have a car'... I believe I'm a good enough driver, and I've got everything it takes.

"I'm excited to go into 2025 knowing I've learned a lot, I've improved a lot, and I'm ready to bring the fight to e♕veryone.

"Confidence is something I've struggled with in the past, and probably I've only built enough throughout this season to go 'I'm confident that I'm a good enough driver to win a championship next year' and I can bring a fight to wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhoever wants to fight me for it."
