Lando Norris handed ‘surreal’ honour ahead of major F1 race

Madame Tussauds, a famous tourist attraction that specialises in
wax figures, has unveiled its build of reigning F1 champion Lando
Norris. The sculpture was announced in March earlier this year and
was being built in time for the British Grand Prix, which takes
place in just over one week’s time. It will be available to view
from June 30 at the Baker Street attraction and sit alongside
fellow F1 champion Lewis Hamilton and Bayern Munich star Harry
Kane. “Seeing the figure finished and standing next to it is pretty
surreal – it really is like looking at another version of me,”
Norris said. “I’m used to seeing myself in photos, videos or a
reflection, but this is me in 3D.  “The artists have really nailed
the details; it’s so lifelike.” To complete the look, Norris
donated one of his McLaren papaya race suits. In addition, a
replica of his 2025 race helmet has been created, which is held in
the figure’s hand as it poses in a celebratory stance. “I also
wanted to donate one of my race suits so fans can see up close
something I actually wear when I’m racing and help make the figure
feel as realistic as possible,” Norris added. “I can’t wait for
everyone to come and see it in London this summer, and I hope
everyone has fun visiting.” Norris returns to the British GP next
week seeking to defend his win on home soil from 12 months ago.
