And needless to say, he handled it like a boss!

To further explain the subject to you, the Briton has been in Pierre Gasly ‘mode’ for a couple of days. He has been watching people’s stories while also tagging and commenting on them. But one that caught everyone’s attention was a meme, which received mixed reactions from the fans. While some called the post ‘bullying’ and ‘too harsh’, others had a laugh. But in the end, Lando surely had the biggest laugh with his witty reply under the post.

Pardon us, but the joke, both the original and Lando’s comeback, landed well. But with Lando’s joke about jumping with four parachutes, the other drivers might not. Nonetheless, fans praised Norris for taking the joke well but wished he hadn’t come across it. 

Fans feel sorry for Lando Norris

There has been n number of instances where the Brit has won his fans’ and Formula 1 fans’ hearts. He won it when he missed out on his maiden win in Sochi in 2021; he won it when he donned a helmet scribbled on by a six-year-old kid; and, of course, he won it with his comment, calling Max Verstappen’s “orange army” supporters of McLaren and himself.
