Hilarious Banter Between Norris, Sainz and Leclerc Prove Their Bromance and Love
Follow Us
The Hungarian Grand Prix was one of the most interesting and chaotic races that we have had so far this season. In the opening laps of the race, carnage ensued as Valtteri Bottas rammed into the back of Lando Norris, who soon hit Max Verstappen. The McLaren driver had to retire shortly thereafter as his car took a huge hit.
Elsewhere on the track, Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari was severely damaged as Lance Stroll was avoiding the chaos on turn one. Both, Charles and Lando were heartbroken as they couldn’t bag points for their respective teams.
However, a day later they overcame their disappointment on Sunday and joined in some light-hearted banter on social media.

Lando Norris didn’t like the way his race panned out
The Brit was optimistic of seeing another set of points for this Papaya team. He found himself in sixth place for the lights out at the Hungaroring. Norris got off to an amazing start, overtaking Bottas in the early go-around.
However, it soon went downhill from there. The Finn hit Norris from the back, which saw him ram into Verstappen‘s Red Bull. He got control of his car and was on his way to the pits for repairs. But the damage to his MCL35M was so severe he had to call it a day.
Well that was a great race.

In frustration, he wrote on Twitter, “Well that was a great race.”
With the summer break now on. Lando will be hoping to have a better race in Spa for the Belgium Grand Prix. Last season, saw the Brit cross the line in seventh place, and would aim to bring home a similar if not a better result for the Woking-based outfit.
Do you think Lando can bounce back from the disappointments of Hungary and bring home points for McLaren at Spa? Let us know your predictions in the comments below.
