Britain's next big thing?

While celebrating the achievements of the motorsport season, the Autosport Awards also provide the opportunity for a young driver to further their career. Lando Norris became the 2016 winner of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, which will see him receive a test in a McLaren-Honda next year. The 17-year-old already has four single-seater titles under his belt - MSA Formula, Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand, Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula Renault NEC - and is set to race in F3 next year. Remember the name.

Andrew first became a fan of Formula 1 during the time when Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill were stepping into the limelight after the era of Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell and Aryton Senna.

He's also written professionally about GP2 (now Formula 2), GP3, IndyCar, World Rally Championship, MotoGP and NASCAR. In his other professional life, Andrew is a freelance writer, social media consultant, web developer/programmer, and digital specialist in the fields of accessibility, usability, IA, online communities and public sector procurement. He worked for many years in magazine production at Bauer Media, and for over a decade he was part of the digital media team at the UK government's communications department. Born and raised in Essex, Andrew currently lives and works in south-west London.
