Formula 1 drivers nowadays are not short of internet personalities. Given the global reach of the sport and the intake of younger drivers, it’s no secret that the sport of Formula 1 is booming. That being said, it isn’t uncommon nowadays for these young guns to fraternize with people outside of the sport. For instance, Martin Garrix is a long-time associate of 2x Champion Max Verstappen. However, Lando Norris‘ latest internet activity on Valentine’s day has had a few heads turning!

It’s no secret that since his breakup with Portuguese model Luisinha Oliveira, the 23-year-old British racing ace has not publicly been out there in terms of his love life. However, on the occasion of Valentine’s day, the McLaren driver was supposedly on the prowl. And keen-eyed fans on Instagram and Twitter caught the Brit red-handed! As it turns out, Norris was scrolling through Instagram when he must’ve seen an Instagram live going on of a famous internet personality. Norris was quick to hop in and pop the question. Norris wrote, “Be my Valentine”. The person in question was none other than British YouTube star Chunkz!

Amin Mohamed a.k.a. Chunkz has been a close McLaren ally. The star even made an appearance supporting the Papaya team at this year’s British GP. Sharing a picture of Chunkz and Norris swooning at each other, the team wrote in a post on Twitter, Get yourself somebody who looks at you like @LandoNorris and @Chunkz look at each other.”

Chunkz has been affiliated with Norris for a while now, and their social media antics were nothing more than some light-hearted banter between two buddies.

Lando Norris once had to clear the air about his relationship with the McLaren co-worker

Lando Norris seems like the most affable guy on the entire Formula 1 grid. Nonetheless, in the past couple of seasons, he’s shown us exactly how cutthroat he can be, to the detriment of Daniel Ricciardo, no doubt. But after getting the better of Ricciardo on track, many feared the bitterness remained even off of it.

But in an interview with SkySports F1, he clarified, “Even with all what the media say that we are against each other and all this nonsense. I have a lot of respect for Daniel. You get to know each other more and more and you become better friends through time. We’ve got a lot of good memories. I love him. He’s a great guy.”
