Norris wins Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award

Lando Norris has been honoured with the World Breakthrough of the Year award at the 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid. This recognition follows his maiden F1 World Championship victory last season, where he edged out Max Verstappen by two points in a dramatic Abu Dhabi finale. In a video message from the McLaren Technology Centre, Norris expressed his gratitude to the voters and his team, noting the prestige of the accolade and his pride in joining previous British winners like Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.
