F1 drivers often have a happening lifestyle outside the track. Be it partying, driving luxury cars, or going on exotic vacations. It’s just a part of being in the fast world of Formula 1. While most of the younger drivers today are in committed relationships, no one knows about their personal life when they are single. McLaren F1 star Lando Norris had a breakup in 2022 and has been single since then. Though, some details about a secret “hook up” have come out from a Brazilian Volleyball star Key Alves.
According to the Brazilian website Sports Buzz, Key Alves confessed to having hooked up with F1 driver Norris. Alves is a BBB 23 (Big Brother Brasil) contestant and also a famous volleyball player. She spoke about this fling with the McLaren driver on the reality show in an interaction with her brother Ricardo.

Despite having a language barrier, the duo didn’t hold back to interact with mime gestures. The Brazilian is an OnlyFans model as well, besides having 7.7 million followers on Instagram.
She further added, “And then I saw his and he sent me a direct [message]. My photos must have appeared to him, I don’t know how and then he sent me a direct [message] in English. I went to answer him in English, but I didn’t know how to talk and we talked by mime.” [translated via Google]
As things stand, there is no confirmation of these details from Norris.

They have a classic example of how Lewis Hamilton hit his prime in F1 after his breakup from a long-term relationship in 2015. So, if Leclerc and Norris can replicate that, it could be redemption for them. Relationships can be chaotic and distracting at times. Of course, Charles and Lando handled it well during their committed period.
Still, it would be one thing less to worry about in 2023. Especially for Leclerc, if he can maximize everything with an improved Ferrari package, his prime period can start.
