“I’m Not in Perfect Condition”: Norris Makes a Bleak Admission Ahead of British GP

Earlier this week, McLaren’s Lando Norris was involved in an incident after attending the Euro 2020 final between Italy and England. The 21-year-old got his watch stolen from his wrist outside the Wembley stadium. And according to the Woking-based team, the young brit was unharmed, but ‘shaken’ after getting mugged.

Heading into the British Grand Prix, Lando Norris is understandably feeling the physical and mental toll after his Richard Mille watch was stolen. The watch is presumed to be a limited edition in the blue and orange colors of McLaren; the expected worth of the watch is understood to be around $100,000.

Speaking at the Drivers conference, Lando Norris admitted he cannot move on from the incident. Also, he revealed that he struggles to sleep.

“I’m not in perfect condition, I’m not going to lie, so yeah, some work to do mentally. Of course, I talk about that a lot, how mental health, mental strength is very important,” said McLaren’s in-form driver, Lando Norris.

“I’ve not been sleeping that great and so on, so yeah, not ideal and I’m feeling a bit sore. But, I don’t know, I’m not the guy in the worst position after Wembley.”

“I’ll work on it, I’ll make sure I’m feeling better and in the best shape possible, and I feel like I can still go out and focus on the job I need to do so, that’s the main thing,” added Norris.

The McLaren driver thanked his fans after their support

The young Brit remained silent for a couple of days after the incident. Eventually, after a few days, Lando Norris broke his silence and thanked his fans. He posted a story on his Instagram and wrote, “Hi world, thanks for all the messages, everyone. Really means a lot to see so many messages of kindness and love from you all.”

“Thought I’d let you know I’m doing well and trying to make sure I’m ready and in the right zone for this weekend to perform at my best. Love you all and can’t wait to see so many of you back at the track this weekend.”
