Lando Norris receives major boost as award rival ‘pulls out’
Lando Norris has been nominated for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year following his world championship success, with the ceremony scheduled for December 18th. Previous F1 champions like Sir Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, and Sir Lewis Hamilton have received this prestigious award. Other contenders for the award include golfer Rory McIlroy, England Women’s footballers Hannah Hampton and Chloe Kelly, England Women rugby union star Ellie Kildunne, and World Darts Champion Luke Littler, who has indicated he will not attend the event. Despite Littler’s absence, Norris is predicted to be the favorite to win, with both athletes previously meeting at the F1 paddock in 2024.
