Norris honoured with Silverstone stand ahead of major announcement
McLaren Formula 1 star Lando Norris has been honored with a stand in his name at this season’s British Grand Prix, adding to fans’ excitement leading up to a significant announcement. The ‘Landostand’ at Silverstone’s Stowe corner offers supporters a prime view of Norris in action on the track, along with free merchandise, a chance to meet him, and exclusive competitions during the race weekend. Due to high demand, an additional stand for 1,000 more fans is being constructed after the initial batch sold out rapidly.
Tickets for the extra stand will be available on May 14 at 10am BST on Silverstone’s official website. Norris aims to continue his F1 championship quest as he competes in front of his home crowd on July 6. Despite leading champion Max Verstappen after the first six races, Norris faces tough competition from his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, who is dominating with four wins in six races and a 16-point lead.
While Norris secured a victory at the Australian GP, recent race weekends have been challenging for him. On a positive note, McLaren is favored to secure their second consecutive constructors’ title, holding a comfortable 105-point lead over Mercedes. Amidst all this, F1 headlines also include Lewis Hamilton unfollowing Ferrari, fueling speculation about his future in the sport.
