Lando Norris admits avoiding F1 rivals amid tense McLaren battle
McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris prefers to avoid his rivals when in Monaco during his downtime, as he values his alone time away from the hectic racing calendar.
Norris and his team-mate Oscar Piastri both reside in Monaco, a popular destination for F1 stars.
He joked about not wanting to bump into Piastri or any other drivers in Monaco, except when playing padel or golf with them.
The British driver explained that he wants to disconnect from racing when away from the track, hence his preference to avoid fellow racers.
Norris and Piastri are currently in a fight for the 2025 drivers’ title, with McLaren allowing them to compete fairly without favoring a No 1 driver.
As Norris seeks to continue his success in F1, he faces stiff competition from Piastri in their championship battle, with McLaren supporting both drivers in their pursuit of grand prix wins and the title.
