Lando Norris’ Father Adam Sends Cheeky Warning to Max Verstappen for British GP With Subtle Social Media Gesture

Who is Lando Norris‘ greatest cheerleader? It is his dad, Adam Norris. The man from Bristol often supports his son from the McLaren garage. Fans were expecting Papa Norris, to stand up in favor of his son after whatever happened at the Austrian Grand Prix. And he did exactly that. Norris Sr. chose to send subtle messages to Max Verstappen, as a sign of caution ahead of the British Grand Prix.

Ever since the conclusion of the Austrian GP, F1 fans have gone ‘wild’ with their creative brains. Soon, social media brimmed with memes and hilarious edits. By liking one such meme on Instagram from F1TROLL, Adam sent a clear message to the Dutchman, Max Verstappen. This meme was likely a photoshopped image of Lando Norris’ McLaren trailing Verstappen’s RB20, which had a loose rear wheel. The caption read: “Lap 1 of the British GP next week.”

As hilarious as it is, Norris Sr.’s action on this post could mean “The game is on.” Adam Norris is naturally upset about the mishaps on the Spielberg track. And unless Norris Jr. has his redemption there is no way for the father-son duo to lay low. Papa Norris, known as Lando’s key motivator, surely gave the young driver some words of advice after his DNF.

The F1 community has often seen Adam Norris, speak up on Lando’s behalf when he feels the need to do so. Any father as a matter of fact would do what Papa Norris does for his son. Fans, critics, and experts alike love the very special father-son relationship they share. Here is an anecdote from when Adam presented some demands before McLaren, for Lando Norris.

Lando Norris’ father demanded McLaren to give his son a good car to win more races

Right after Lando’s first F1 win at the Miami Grand Prix this year, Papa Norris made a demand from McLaren. He believed the ‘Papaya’ squad could have more success if they produced better, winning cars. “I think there’s a real opportunity to win more this year,” Adam had stated. He further complimented his son’s abilities and said he’s ‘always been super fast’. Norris Sr. claimed that Lando could win more races as he had the confidence to do so and fans are sure Adam still thinks the same about his son.

Norris Sr. is always on the frontline to pat his son’s back after every podium he conquers. Fans love to see this moment after every race. Not just Adam and Lando’s pair but several more such endearing father-son duos have received equal and more love from F1 enthusiasts. Like, Anthony and Lewis Hamilton, the iconic duo is probably the most revered one. Carlos Sainz Sr. and Carlos Sainz Jr., are another father-son duo that’s getting a lot of love in recent times.

The dynamic between Lando Norris and his father, Adam, exemplifies a heartwarming and inspiring relationship that resonates within the F1 community. Adam’s support and advocacy for Lando highlight the crucial role family plays in an athlete’s career. While Adam’s ‘cheeky’ move on social media is sending mild messages to Red Bull, it will be interesting to see how this impacts Lando Norris. F1’s next stop is Silverstone. Norris Jr.’s redemption is speculated.
