There are two reasons for which Tom Holland is infamous. One, his portrayal of Spiderman and two, his tendency to reveal things, to give away spoilers without any thought or consideration. This is something Holland’s compatriot and McLaren driver Lando Norris was also guilty of doing.
Recently, McLaren posted a video on their Twitter in which they revealed the moment Norris accidentally or unknowingly revealed their new race suit, assumingly before their launch event.
Norris can be heard saying in the video, “Oh no..did they see my suit?”

“I stood up to look down there,” Norris said as a voice, probably a McLaren employee, said, “Please don’t tell me you did.”
But the damage was done at this point and all Lando Norris could do, was giggle anxiously, something Tom Holland would’ve given him a high-five for had he been there.

Lando Norris relishes “the big opportunity” which is the 2022 season
Regardless of the fact that he revealed the race suit accidentally, one thing which Lando Norris knowingly and with full intent made clear, was how he feels about the coming season.
At the launch of their new car, Norris said, “As a driver, personally, there’s going to be a big opportunity, and to come out of the blocks strong will always be a good thing.”

He explained how potentially, the coming season presents a chance for drivers to make a bigger difference than they could’ve in the years prior, that is, “if you understand how to drive the car and so on.”
Norris continued, “So definitely a big opportunity for us as drivers, rather than just the car being the opportunity for us to make the most of it.”
