Lando Norris hilariously trolls Charles Leclerc

During the British Grand Prix, Norris displayed his exquisite skill and talent behind the wheel of an F1 car. But as soon as he got behind the wheel of a normal road-going beast, we saw the meme-lord that is Lando Norris.

They may be friends off the track, but what happens when they are fighting for the most coveted race seat in all of Formula 1 right now?

The straight battle between Norris and Leclerc for Red Bull seat

One thing is for sure, Max Verstappen is here to stay. And coming to think of it, Red Bull is realistically the only team in the mix for a championship whitewash in the foreseeable future. Further, as things stand, it’s a straight battle between Leclerc and Norris for that one available Red Bull seat.

According to The Sun, “Both Norris and Leclerc have been approached [by Red Bull]. The Brit is supposedly highly rated by Red Bull chiefs and was close to joining them before penning a deal at McLaren. Norris’ contract runs until 2025 and he reportedly has plans to remain there. Meanwhile, Leclerc sits seventh in the standings and has podiumed just twice this campaign. With his contract up in 2024, there has been speculation he could replace [Sergio] Perez.”
