Back in 2016, Formula One released a video where drivers spoke about their phobias and fears. A lot of them had diverse fears and some common ones, while others were a little bizarre. However, Lando Norris recently confirmed a new phobia that was not on the list.

During a Twitch stream, he got the shock of his life when he spotted a hornet in his room. Of course, knowing how dangerous they are, he nearly had a freakout.

Admittedly, all his subscribers found a lot of pleasure in his suffering. What terrified the McLaren driver was the fact that it managed to escape being sucked into a hoover.
