British Fans Left Seething as Lando Norris Disdainfully Ditches Them for “Favorite Place”

It’s no secret Lando Norris and Max Verstappen have become the best of buddies over the past few months, not that they weren’t before that. It’s just that they’ve been showcasing their bromance much more than before. That, coupled with his budding friendship with Dutch DJ Martin Garrix, seems to have influenced the Brit more than his British fans would like because, as per his latest social media update, it’s not Silverstone that he’s biased toward. 

Much like Lewis Hamilton, Norris dropped off the face of social media during the summer break, apart from posting the occasional Instagram story about being Garrix’s photographer.

Now that Formula 1 is back, he posted pictures of himself dressed in all black and wrote, “back in my favorite place.” Considering he’s a British driver and has expressed his love for the UK and Silverstone, you would think that’s his favorite place. Well, think again because this post says otherwise.

As much as fans loved seeing him back on Twitter, the British fans weren’t thrilled about his newfound love for the Netherlands, especially because he ditched Silverstone. Norris could have been referring to being back in the F1 paddock after a four-week break, suggesting that the paddock was his “favorite place.” But that’s not how British fans took it, and they expressed their disapproval on Twitter.

Lando Norris has Silverstone “crying”

Apart from posting pictures of himself on Instagram and Twitter, calling Zandvoort his favorite place, McLaren posted a video of Norris talking about the Dutch GP. He said, “The second half of the season is about to start, so I’m super excited. Zandvoort is one of the most exciting races of the season. Good vibes, good music always in the paddock, plenty of stroopwafels. So, I’m happy and excited.” It’s clear Norris is biased toward The Netherlands for the Stroopwafels, and maybe because of his best friend Martin Garrix’s music. Either way, he has some explaining to do for his dedicated UK fanbase.

While most Twitteratis were excited about Norris’ social media return, the British fans couldn’t let go of the fact that he called Zandvoort his favorite place.

What do you think Lando Norris was referring to? The paddock, or Zandvoort in general? Would you be mad if he really meant Zandvoort?
