WATCH: “Uncle” Lando Norris Gets Cheers From His Biggest Fan as Niece Mila Joins in Maiden GP Celebrations

Lando Norris is one of the most admired characters in Formula 1. His funny and witty nature never stops putting a smile on the face of his Formula 1 fans. His maiden race win in the Miami Grand Prix was a special moment for the British driver and the fans- especially since it came after a long wait of 5 years and 109 Grand Prix starts. But as Norris was soaking in the joy of realizing his dream come true, he was unaware that he was being cheered on by his biggest little fan, his niece, Mila Norris, who was watching Uncle Lando on television.

Lando Norris has a special bond with Mila and in the past, we have seen him share several heartwarming moments. This time around, it was his brother’s wife, Savannah, who captured Mila cheering the McLaren driver as he was busy with his post-race duties. Sharing her adorable reaction on Instagram, she said, “Mila’s reaction to @landonorris winning 🏆🧡”.

In her adorable voice, Mila pointed to her mother trying to say, ‘Mommy, look Lando’. And when Savannah asked her if it was Lando on the television, she screamed, “Lando..!!!!”

She captured the hearts of Lando’s fans on social media as comments started flooding in talking about her cute reaction to his uncle’s race win. It was a nostalgic moment as it reminded us of how the daughter of Max Verstappen’s girlfriend, Penelope, often cheers him on. These are rare moments that we get to witness the off-track life and connections of our favorite drivers.

Lando Norris thinks he is a great uncle despite making kids cry all the time

In a conversation on the ‘F1: Beyond the Grid’ podcast last season, Lando Norris opened up about various aspects of his life, both professional and personal. When asked by Tom Clarkson about having kids in the future, Norris seemed hesitant to think about parenthood amid his pursuit of a Formula 1 championship.

However, the British driver did express his love for children, claiming that he is a great uncle to his brother’s two adorable babies. He also truthfully admitted the fact that children usually start crying in his presence, yet he feels a natural connection with them. “I love kids,” said Norris. “My brother’s had his second baby. And they’re the cutest things on Earth. I think I am a great uncle.”

“As much as babies always cry when they see me, I feel like I’m good with them. I’ve grown up with my manager for the last, what, ten… I’m gonna say eleven years or something and he’s had three kids. So, yeah, kind of just growing up with them a little bit. Even when I was a kid, I don’t feel like I was much older than what they were,” he added.
