Lando Norris Turns into Weatherman During German Grand Prix

Every Formula One fan knows that Lando Norris is one hilarious guy and he knows it too. During the German Grand Prix, fans got a taste of radio gold from the young British driver. Previously, the radio gold came from the likes of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. However, with Alonso no longer in F1 and Raikkonen in the twilight of his career, it is safe to say that F1’s radio humour is in good hands.

During the German GP, the team asked Lando Norris to give them an update on the conditions. He chirped back, “Er… ****ing wet? Can’t see a thing, very wet.”

Sadly, poor old Norris was unable to see out the race until the chequered flag owing to a loss of power. However, before the race even began, it nearly ended for Norris as he attempted a silly stunt.
“The only thing that was stupid that led to a lot of crashes was the drag strip,” said Norris.
“Luckily, I did it on my laps to the grid, because we had an onboard that we had to watch, the one magic lap from Fernando [Alonso] when he was with Ferrari, and he goes two wheels over the kerb, onto the drag strip, and everything looks fine.

“So I did my lap to the grid, I tried it, and I genuinely thought I was going to be out of the race before I even started. I put the clutch in, full opposite lock, I’m not exaggerating, I shat myself!
“I was like oh shit this is not going to be good! Because the guys were waiting there to put me up on the jacks and put me in my positions, and I had the biggest fright of my life.”
