McLaren driver Lando Norris always finds a way to get himself some attention. This time, he managed to pull off another stunt, and it was hilarious. Before the coronavirus pandemic dominated every headline, one of the biggest pieces of news was Mercedes and its infamous DAS.

He is part of the younger generation of drivers, taking social media to the next level, and is leading the charge for the online racing craze in F1.
