Lewis Hamilton once suggested that he doesn’t like to drive a car unless it goes very fast. However, his fellow countryman is the complete opposite. Lando Norris opened up about his personal car collection and revealed his contrasting car collection. After recently acquiring a $382000 supercar, Norris still is in favor of driving the first car that he bought. Let’s see what the fans have to say about Norris’ car choice.

The McLaren MCL60, as suggested by Lando Norris, is a tricky car to drive. The Briton suggested that the car’s operating window is very short and that it is difficult to push the car beyond its limit. This tricky nature makes the MCL60 not the safest car to drive. However, the McLaren driver recently revealed some cars in his collection that are possibly safer than the MCL60 to drive.

In a video uploaded by McLaren’s official Instagram page Lando Norris was asked what car he drives. The Briton revealed that he recently bought a McLaren 765LT and made changes as per his choice. Norris hasn’t had the chance to drive the car yet and that’s it’ll probably be his daily driver. Nevertheless, he also explained how his Fiat Jolly is still probably his favorite car to drive around in. 

Norris earlier revealed how the Fiat Jolly, despite only being a 15HP car, is still the most fun car to drive around in and that it was the first car he bought with his own money. According to Sbnation.com, Lando Norris said, “The Jolly, like you said, was for a while the only car I had to drive in Monaco. No roof, I took the whole roof rack off. 15 horsepower, couldn’t be more opposite to a Formula 1 car.”

With Norris owning both a 15HP car and a 755 HP car, the Briton’s contrasting choice of cars has left the fans wondering. Let’s see what the fans think about Norris’ car collection.
