Watch the FIA Awards Ceremony where Norris got crowned champion
Lando Norris officially received his World Drivers' Championship trophy at the FIA Gala. Watch the event on demand here!
With the on-track season now in the books, the 2025 season was now wrapped up at the yearly FIA Gal after a year that proved intense, long and full of twists right to the end, in Formula 1 and beyond.
After sealing the first title of his career at the end of a nail-biting fight with Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri, the newly crowned world champion finally received the winner’s trophy — a moment that officially confirmed his status as the new number one on the grid.
McLaren also received its second consecutive Constructors’ Championship, sealed well ahead of the Drivers’ title this year, after having already triumphed last year — also in Abu Dhabi.
When and where the 2025 FIA Awards Ceremony will take place?
The recap of the FIA Gala will take place tonight, Friday, December 12, at 6:00 PM GMT. The chosen location is Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where the new FIA president will also be announced — although it’s was previously confirmed that the 2025–2029 term will once again go to the current president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
The event can also be watched on demand via the official FIA YouTube channel streaming link above.
In addition to celebrating the world champion, the gala will hand out awards in other categories, including the World Rally Championship, World Endurance Championship, Formula E, and karting.
On top of that, awards will be given for Action of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Outstanding Official, and the FIA President’s Awards. This year, two new prizes will also be introduced: Excellence in Communication and National Motorsport Achievement.
