Although he is still relatively young, Lando Norris is one of the grid’s fastest drivers. Despite the fact that 23-year-old Norris has achieved less success in his brief career, the current situation doesn’t do justice to his talent. And as things continued to get worse, Norris made the decision to set off on a frightening adventure in Max Verstappen’s $20,000 joyride that would take him into deep seas. But wait, who is he calling his friends—is it the Red Bull?
Norris has been associated with Red Bull on multiple occasions over the past few months. Sometimes this was simply because Red Bull was trying to sign the F2 champion, and other times it was because he was spotted having fun with his “best friend” Max Verstappen. The two guys have streamed on Twitch in addition to being visible around the paddock. However, unlike last year when Verstappen was found in the waters with Norris at Monaco GP, this time when Lando Norris was found diving deep in the waters, Verstappen wasn’t present there. Nevertheless, he lent one of his joyrides to the McLaren ace to have fun.

Recently Lando Norris uploaded an Instagram post where he wrote, “Nothing better than a day with friends. First time trying wakeboarding.” As is obvious from his caption, the 23-year-old was trying his hand at wakeboarding. The McLaren star uploaded a total of eight pictures. However what caught the attention of fans was the 4th pic in the slide, which showed Max Verstappen’s $20,000 jet ski.
Ever since the post first appeared on the internet, many fans are being speculative and have interpreted it as a clue, thinking it would be a Red Bull move of the 23-year-old amid ongoing McLaren troubles, given Sergio Perez’s contract to expire at the end of 2024.
Following Lando Norris’ most recent adventure, F1 fans have come up with a range of hypotheses
Prior to the start of the season, Zak Brown revealed that the Woking-based company had missed certain important development milestones. And McLaren’s dismal performance after then has made it quite apparent. The team has finished just barely in the points in seven races so far, and it is presently in sixth place with 17 points.
Due to the Papaya army’s underwhelming performance, Norris’ departure from McLaren has been recommended by both analysts and fans. Having heard the rumors linking Norris to Red Bull, the Briton once said he was “flattered.”
In addition, many experts suggested that Norris may make a fantastic “number two” because of his skills and friendship with Max Verstappen. With all of this in view, has Norris, who is spotted with Red Bull’s machinery, given any indication that he will be joining the Austrian Organization in the future year? Let’s have a look at what the fans have cooked up.
“Red bull announced.”
” When he hears people saying he needs to leave McLaren.”
“Red bull life jacket??”
” He’s using Max’s jet ski and boat that why he has the RB life jacket.”
“Lando to replace Checo in 2024.”
“That’s the closest Lando’s been to a red Bull.”
“We are missing Max Verstappen here When there is a jetski AND it’s redbull you have to call max.”
” Max landing his yacht and Jet-ski to Lando love their friendship.”
