McLaren Formula 1 team driver Lando Norris said that he does not like driving on city streets.
As TalkSport notes, the Briton’s personal collection of supercars is estimated at £1.7 million. He owns a £300,000 McLaren 765LT Spider, a £350,000 Rolls Royce Wraith and has also been seen driving a £1 million McLaren Senna.
– I hate this. I’m even more afraid on the road than in a racing car; it happened that people wanted to race me on the street. We were filming something, I was taking my child to school, and I needed to pick him up from home in the McLaren in the morning.
So here he is sitting next to me, cameras everywhere, speed limits and traffic lights, me in public in a racing suit, someone watching me from the side.
I’m like, I’ve got a kid here and a TV, and I say, “OK,” and I roll down the window and say hello. And you can tell he’s thinking about having a race. “I cannot and must act in a certain way,” Norris was quoted as saying by TalkSport.
In January it was announced that Norris had signed a new long-term contract with McLaren.

The Ferrari, Audi and Aston Martin teams have filed a joint lawsuit with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) over the advantage that Mercedes and Red Bull may have in the 2026 season under the new technical regulations, The Race reports.
In 2026, Formula 1 will switch to new technical regulations, which provide for a reduction in the fuel compression ratio in power plants from 18:1 to 16:1. This indicator will be monitored off the track.
According to the source, Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to pass the tests while maintaining the actual race compression ratio at 18:1. This could give teams an advantage of 0.3-0.4 seconds per lap.
— The regulations clearly define the maximum compression ratio and the method for measuring it, based on static conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure remains unchanged despite the reduction in the permissible compression ratio for 2026, the FIA said in a statement.
The FIA does not intend to change the regulations at least until the tests are carried out. Teams are allowed to update their power unit designs every six races of the season.
