Lando Norris is one of the most talented young drivers on the grid. However, when not in an F1 car, the 22-year-old prefers to spend his time playing golf or video games. He even started streaming during the global pandemic when the races were at a halt. His passion for gaming also led to him starting an eSports organization, Quadrant.
Lando Norris brings a special Halo helmet to Singapore
Norris’ Quadrant joined hands with the Halo Championship Series to celebrate this collaboration. So, the McLaren driver would wear a special helmet for the Singapore GP. Further, this special helmet would be themed after the famous Halo character, Master Chief.

Lando Norris is known for wearing unique helmets on unique occasions. Like this year, he donned a basketball-themed helmet for the inaugural Miami GP. Moreover, his standard helmet is of neon green color, which is also the theme for his eSports organization Quadrant.
It would be interesting to see the driver race in a Halo-themed helmet. And hope this helmet also brings some luck to the Brit, as the season hasn’t been too kind to him. He has only been on the podium once this year, finishing third at Imola. Further, Norris ranks seventh on the F1 standings with 88 points.
What’s more about this Quadrant and Halo deal?
The partnership of Quadrant and Halo didn’t only get the McLaren driver a special Master Chief helmet for the Singapore GP. There is more to this deal, as players will get to use Quadrant-themed skins in the game during Year 2 of the Halo Championship Series in 2023.
