What is the FIA Awards Ceremony?
The FIA’s annual Prize Giving gala is held every 12 months and honours world champions from every FIA-backed motorsport category, including F1.
The ceremony celebrates title winners, teams and leading figures from across motorsport to “recognise exceptional talent and outstanding achievements on and off the track”.
Norris will be handed the drivers’ championship trophy, which was designed in 1995 by Fox Silver.
The iconic cup is made up of silver and gold and features the name and signature of each world champion engraved to the outside.
Norris will be the latest to his signature engraved into the biggest prize in motorsport.
McLaren will also be presented with the World Constructors’ Championship trophy for the second year running, after successfully defending the title in 2025.
The FIA’s Prize Giving Gala is viewed as a traditional conclusion to the motorsport season.
World Rally and Formula E championships will also be honoured.
The theme for this year’s event is ‘Dreams of a Champion’, which reflects on the years of “dedication and sacrifice needed to achieve the ultimate goal”.
The top three finishers in the F1 world championship are permitted to attend.
Lewis Hamilton famously skipped the awards gala in 2021 following his controversial title defeat to Verstappen.
The seven-time world champion was fined €50,000 for the no-show.
