One particular fan praised his upbringing while also lauding McLaren’s environment for keeping the 24-year-old grounded.
Lando still remembers when he was that kid. Pretty grounded and a compliment to how he was raised and the McLaren environment. Great to see and congrats!

How lovely! I’m Dutch, but don’t tell everybody but I think Lando is the most kind F1 driver in the grid.

What is Lando Norris up to during the off-season?
The off-season kicked off with great news for Lando Norris. The Briton won the coveted Lorenzo Bandini Trophy. The award honors the remarkable achievements of an F1 driver. The award does not necessarily recognize on-track results but the way an individual achieved their success and their character.

Lando was in Italy to collect the award which honours an individual for their achievements in F1, it is not based on race results, but on how success was achieved, as well as the recipient’s character and approach to racing.

Soon after, he returned to live streaming which took a back seat during the F1 season. This time, however, the 24-year-old played Fortnite for the first time in his streaming career.
For company, he had none other than Yung Filly and AngryGinge13. It served as great entertainment for the audience as the trio’s chemistry made for some hilarious exchanges.
Sadly, in his latest stream, he revealed that he was off for a long vacation that would include multiple destinations. With that, to the surprise of many, he also called it quits on his streaming career.
