Lando Norris became the 35th driver to win the championship, but he was not awarded the official trophy in Abu Dhabi.

A replica of the trophy was on the track before the final race of the 2025 season.

Instead, the 26-year-old celebrated with his third-place trophy at the Yas Marina Circuit.

This is because governing body FIA award the trophy during their annual awards gala.

The gala will take place on Friday, 12 December 2025 at 18:00 GMT, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Norris will not get to keep the trophy permanently, but can instead order a replica to keep, as previous winners have done.

The ceremony will celebrate title winners, teams and leading figures from across motorsport to “recognise exceptional talent and outstanding achievements on and off the track”.
