Lando Norris won’t be able to get his hands on the F1 world championship trophy for another few days yet.
Lando Norris has been crowned the 35th Formula 1 world drivers’ champion, but has not yet received his trophy, a tradition unique to F1. The official FIA prize-giving ceremony, where champions from various racing series are honored, is where the F1 champions receive their trophies. This approach ensures the ceremony’s gravitas and allows for potential protests or controversies to be resolved before crowning the champion. The F1 trophy, created in 1995, is a sterling silver and 24-carat gold masterpiece, featuring the signatures of all past world champions, including Norris’s recent addition. The upcoming gala in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, will see Norris finally presented with his trophy alongside other racing champions like Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri.
