Lando Norris‘s chemistry with his teammates has always been hilarious to watch. Yesterday, Lando, along with his famous e-sports team, Team Quadrant, indulged in a game of Skribble/Pictionary. As entertaining as the stream was, the cherry on top of it was Lando’s hysterical caricature of his ex teammate and his lapse of memory when it came to his new teammate’s existence.
Lando and Carlos Sainz were teammates at McLaren . While in a sport where your teammate is regarded as your biggest enemy, they gave the world an example of how good things can be between teammates. The duo who now race for different teams can still be seen hanging out with each other on a golf course or even at intimate family affairs. The CarLando fans had a blast when he drew a red outline with the ever famous ‘Big Cojones’ and rest of the members bursting into laughter immediately guessed who it was.

While it took Norris less than a minute to remember the funny banter of Sainz, the Brit had a lapse in memory when it came to remembering new drivers or rookies on the grid. He was the one guessing when an orange stick figure was drawn on the screen with the word NEW and AUSSIE written next to it. Not able to guess the obvious, Norris replied, “I don’t know any other new drivers.” To put things in perspective, Lando Norris lines up next to Australian rookie Oscar Piastri for McLaren. So even if Norris was unware about developments in other teams, he shouldn’t have ideally forgotten the man who is going to be driving the other Papaya Car.
The YouTube video on Team Quadrant’s channel had the viewers join in on the fun in comments sections.
Fans react to Lando Norris’ teammate saga
The goofy Lando Norris never minces his words, in adoration or confusion. During the game with Team Quadrant, he got to draw possibly his favorite person on the grid , Carlos Sainz. He drew a red figurine with black rather evident Cojones to make the guess easier. But when it came to his turn of guessing the existence of new drivers on the grid after the most obvious depiction of a new driver, he conveniently forgot his 2023 teammate, leaving fans in splits. Let us take a look at some comments from the said YouTube video:
“Lando: “I don’t know any other new drivers!” Boy oh boy, the first McLaren team meeting is gonna be interesting this year.“
“Lando:I don’t know any of the new drivers Oscar:And I took that personally”
“i lost it at lando not getting oscar“
“Shoulda drawn oscar piastri upside down”
“Oscar Piastri has left the Video”
While we are on the topic of drawing the rear end of the driver, Lando’s ‘artistic’ depiction of Sainz made fans emotional.
