Lando Norris Crash Doesn’t Stop No1 Fan Jimmy Butler From Bartending Duties At Miami GP

The F1 spirits take over the US sporting world amid the NBA postseason. After an early exit in the postseason, NBA superstars Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler made their way to the Miami Grand Prix for the intense action. However, amid the situation, the Miami Heat star forward caught our attention when he was focused on his bartending duties despite a mishap. Butler’s favorite Lando Norris unfortunately crashed out early in the qualifying race.

Seconds into the race, four cars lined up for a collision when Lance Stroll came in close with Fernando Alonzo and Lewis Hamilton. While the two Aston Martins sneaked away, Stroll hit Norris from behind. Eventually, both racers were ruled out early with severe damage to the car. Fortunately, all four drivers were safe.

Hours after the drama, Jimmy Butler took to his IG stories and shared his bartending duties. Through the multiple stories, it was evident that Butler reached out to the Owens Mixers stall at the event and sipped a crafted cocktail.

Notably, in one of the stories, Jimmy Butler proved himself as the #1 fan of Lando Norris. The Heat star shared a close-up image of his McLaren tee that he donned for the event. It had ‘Lando’ written near the chest. Norris himself could have signed it. Nevertheless, Butler didn’t stop at the bartending counter.

The 6x NBA All-Star reached out to various stalls at the event and spent a candid time. He tried his hand at graffiti art, cosmetics and wellness stalls. And in the end, he decided to end his day with a bang. Butler reached Chase Stadium to witness the soccer action. Of course, he supported the home side, Inter Miami FC. One of his stories included the soccer superstar Lionel Messi. Importantly, Messi visited one of the playoff games of the Celtics at Kaseya Center.

Jimmy Butler and his friendship with Lando Norris

While Butler has already clarified whom he was supporting at the Miami GP with his T-shirt, let’s find out more about his bond with Norris. The stars may forget but the internet never forgets. When Butler made the sporting world look at him with his 2023 playoff performance, the internet dug out a lot of things.

One such thing was a hilarious video of Jimmy Butler with Lando Norris. In that video, the Heat star was seen scared, clinging on to the roll cage as Lando pressed on the gas on an F1 circuit. Butler can be heard saying, “My head, oh my God. Oh, you’re drivin’ drivin’. Oh, my stomach fittin’ to fall out my a**…  I need to throw up – it’s coming. Oh, naw, naw, naw, let me out.” 

While the NBA world has only watched the aggressive side of the star, the video brought out the inner child. Nevertheless, the duo continues to be in great friendship despite the drama. On the other hand, Lando Norris got the fifth position in the starting grid for a big race on Sunday. Will Norris get his car out of a collision tomorrow? Let us know in the comments.
