How do you scare a two-meter-tall NBA player? With a quick lap in a Mclaren with Lando Norris, that’s how! Miami Heat sharpshooter Jimmy Butler went on a joyride with Norris back in 2019. And Lando might be the reason the NBA star never returns to the track.

Jimmy Butler appeared at the Canadian Grand Prix as a guest of honor. And with a guest of honor privilege, he went on a ride with Lando. Audibly apprehensive about the idea, Butler prayed before getting into the car with Norris.

But that was hardly enough to slow the Brit down. Before the start of the lap, Butler requested the Mclaren man to not drive too fast. Which quickly converted to “oh h*ll naw, you drivin driven!“

Cut to the end of the lap and Butler wishes Norris good luck before commenting, “he driving like a bat out of h*ll in there.” The hilarious ride and reaction were all captured with cameras inside the car. And it’s you don’t see a scared giant NBA player every day.

The Miami Heat star even found it difficult to get in and fit inside the Mclaren. After watching the big man struggle, Lando suggested a sunroof for his head. Especially with the helmet on, let’s just say it was a tough task for the Butler.

Disappointing end for Lando Norris

Apart from the laps with Butler, Lando did not enjoy the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The Brit did not finish the race with a problem in his rear suspension. Lando’s Mclaren caught fire at the right rear and the suspension melted. This effectively ended his race.

Lando’s debut season might have not gone according to plan. But the Brit has since finished on the podium on six occasions in his career so far. With the latest coming in the current season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. A feat he repeated from last season’s race at Imola as he finished P3 on both occasions.

Now looking forward to the weekend race at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, can Lando get another podium and make it the seventh of his career?
