The always exciting and fun Grill the Grid is back! F1 released the first video of the new season of Grill the Grid on the YouTube channel and it has already given us many amazing moments. F1 drivers were asked to give an accurate height challenge to all the drivers on the grid and they were surprised to know the height of Lando Norris.
The McLaren driver is known to be one of the shortest drivers on the grid. But according to the video, he is the same height as Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher. This detail provided some hilarious reactions from other drivers who refuse to believe that Lando is 176 cm tall.
Alex called out his friend and stated,” Lando… Has he had a growth spurt since I last saw him because that’s not true?” Charles Leclerc too refused to believe how tall the British driver is.” Lando is no way here. Mick and Lando are the same height? Poor Lando.”
