Lando Norris stuns with jaw-dropping arrival honouring Italian legend at Monza
With the Italian Grand Prix set to take centre stage, drivers have begun to arrive, with some choosing to showcase their unique fashion sense. Among them is Lando Norris, who made an eye-catching appearance on media day.
The McLaren driver, fresh off a disappointing end to his Dutch Grand Prix, turned up wearing a MotoGP-inspired outfit that paid homage to Valentino Rossi.
Norris sported a black jacket featuring a crescent moon design with a face of a man with a mischievous smirk on it.
Rossi’s connection to open-wheel racing is well documented, and on occasion, he is present at Formula 1 races whenever he is away from MotoGP-related duties.
The Italian icon also participates in endurance racing in the LMGT3 category.
