It’s near impossible for popular figures to ignore the media, including Formula One drivers, who attend various press conferences and interviews. All such driver interactions take place as their respective PR Managers are there to make them possible. For the McLaren driver, Lando Norris, this was Charlotte Sefton’s duty to schedule the media interactions.

The young English driver is working with Charlotte Sefton since he became a professional driver for McLaren in 2019. However, Lando Norris’s PR Manager has been working with the British F1 Team even before Norris joined.

After spending over 7.5 years with McLaren, the F1 Communications Manager is leaving the F1 team. She is quite active on social media and tweeted about her departure from McLaren.
