in a video message<\/a> from the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC). \u201cIf you haven\u2019t seen already, I managed to win the Laureus Breakthrough Award, which is one the most prestigious awards to win \u2013 Laureus in general is incredible.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m disappointed that I could not be there tonight, because I\u2019ve seen it on TV many times, and it looks like an incredible night, but I\u2019m here at MTC and working to make sure we\u2019re prepared for the next race out.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo everyone who had voted for me, to the committee for voting, thanks very much for awarding me this incredible award, alongside many incredible people that I was up against, and incredible people that have won it in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very honoured, and of course I have to always say a big thanks to my whole team, everyone here at McLaren, my mechanics, my personal team, everyone who\u2019s been on this journey with me \u2013 they also get to accept this award on my behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n
