Norris held his nerve in a tense battle with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri and four-time champion Max Verstappen to win the 2025 championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old held off some strong competition to scoop the award, with fellow Britain Luke Littler, the darts world champion, among the nominees.<\/p>\n

“Winning the world championship is something I dreamed about since I was young, so to win my first in 2025 is pretty special,” Norris said.<\/p>\n

“It’s far from being an individual achievement. Without my team, who were also nominated for a Laureus Team of the Year award, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz was named Sportsman of the Year, with fellow tennis player Aryna Sabalenka earning the sportswoman award.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz, 22, won eight ATP Tour titles, including two Grand Slam events, and ended 2025 ranked as the world number one as he beat rival Jannik Sinner to the award.<\/p>\n

Sabalenka, 27, added a second US Open crown to her collection as she collected four WTA titles last year.<\/p>\n

England’s women were in the running for Team of the Year after winning Euro 2025 but the award went to men’s Champions League winners Paris St-Germain.<\/p>\n

British cyclist Tom Pidcock missed out on the Action Sportsperson of the Year award, with American snowboarder Chloe Kim taking the honour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
