Unfortunately, Lando Norris was stuck amid the pandemonium and was robbed of his watch. McLaren made a statement regarding the situation.” Lando was unharmed, but he is understandably shaken.”

Almost 16 hours later, Lando broke his silence to thank everyone for the support.

Lando thanked his followers on his Instagram story.” Hi world. Thanks for all the messages, everyone. Really means a lot to see so many messages of kindness and love from you all.”

He reassured them of how he is, saying, “Thought I’d let you know that I’m doing well and trying to make sure I’m ready and in the right zone for this weekend to perform at my best.”

“Love you all and can’t wait to see so many of you back at the track this weekend x,” he said, signing off. He was robbed of his Richard Mille watch, which was a limited edition piece for McLaren. It’s a pretty well-known watch as rarely Lando is spotted without it.
