Just the name Cristiano Ronaldo is enough to speak volumes for itself. The soccer legend, the GOAT, the king of consistency, and so many other names can barely describe the huge personality he has. Of course, big names like him have an immeasurable impact on youth. And guess what happens when they walk into any social media platform? Millions of likes and followers are nothing but a cakewalk. Although our F1 stars experience something similar, like Lando Norris, a social media sensation, a few influence Ronaldo.

The owner of five Balon d’Or awards recently started his YouTube channel, which, just like CR7 himself, broke all records. The soccer sensation hit a million followers within 90 minutes. It took him nearly 10 hours to reach 10 million. This means he received a golden play button and will now receive a diamond play button from YouTube. Currently, at 28 million, the Al Nassr frontman truly makes records follow him.

Meanwhile, Lando Norris has taken a rather mischievous stance. It looks like the F1 star has a little complaint against YouTube. So, Cristiano Ronaldo shared a clip on his Instagram where he unboxes the Golden Play Button before his kids. He thanked his subscribers for the present his family got. “A present for my family ❤️ Thank you to all the SIUUUbscribers!” wrote the star. Of course, celebrities across the globe congratulated the icon. Meanwhile, the McLaren star commented, “Took them a decade to send me mine,” with a skull emoji, which may be him trying to mask his emotions. Poor Lando!

Was the founder of Quadrant ‘ignored’ by the free video-watching platform? No, just the logistics we guess! Nonetheless, Norris now has some serious competition on social media. This is no rivalry—don’t get us wrong but the F1 star was bound to feel bad! We mean anyone would, right?

Through his YouTube channel, Cristiano is aiming to give his fans a glimpse of his real self. Who is CR7 off the pitch? This question has intrigued the soccer world for a long time. And now that the 39-year-old has reached out via social media, his supporters and detractors will know his special sides. Meanwhile, Lando Norris keeps expanding his empire in the digital world. He started as a streamer and now owns $762,000 worth of brands.

Lando Norris: The omnipresent personality (Read: King) of social media

The McLaren star has been the self-proclaimed king of live streaming. He began as a gaming streamer with his friends. The team’s name was Quadrant, and this eventually turned into a massive business that saw the light of day in 2020. Since then, it has been making waves in the entertainment, e-sports, and apparel industries. As you can see, Quadrant didn’t limit itself to gaming; instead, it went beyond and beyond, reaching fans across the world.

Moving from the boundaries of basics, Lando Norris’ business has made drastic changes in the content. It caters to adventure sports enthusiasts and builds a community around these diverse sports. But keeping aside YouTube for once, Norris’ cheeky captions on Instagram and X don’t go unnoticed. The Brit surely knows his way around words. Also, kudos to his social media and PR team for their amazing efforts in entertaining the fans.

Amidst the hubbub of social life, a secluded moment with the family becomes a necessity. While Lando might pretend to be ‘jealous’ of Cristiano Ronaldo’s instant YouTube fame, we all know he too is celebrating his achievement, just like most people are. The king of social media is somewhat welcoming the king of soccer into his realm. What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments.
