Along with being one of the most talented drivers on the grid, Lando Norris has something else that is special about him. The McLaren driver is half British, half Belgian.

He said, “Eleven and thirty-one were like the two numbers I had Formula Renault, Formula Three, Formula Four. I think they were already taken by the time I even got into Formula One. Four was the best one in the end, mainly it fit really nicely into my logo.”
