Norris Closes Gap on McIlroy
Norris’s breakthrough win on home soil has captured the public’s imagination and pushed him firmly into contention for the BBC honour.
With the F1 season still in full swing, a title push could close the gap even further.
Lewis Hamilton has won the Sports Personality of the Year award on two occasions which shows that the British public have recent history for voting a Formula 1 driver as their winner.
