Lando Norris immortalized in wax: Madame Tussauds unveils his figure
The reigning Formula 1 world champion, Lando Norris, will have his own wax figure at the famous Madame Tussauds museum in London this summer. The McLaren driver visited the wax artists earlier this year to ensure the figure was as similar to him as possible. According to a press release from Madame Tussauds, the team has been “capturing every precise detail, from color checks to measurements, of the star, from the helmet to the feet”. Norris, a very popular figure in F1, won his first world championship at the end of last year, in a close battle with Max Verstappen and his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri.The wax figure will be exhibited alongside other existing figures at the London tourist attraction, including Lewis Hamilton, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah, Mary Earps, Anthony Joshua and Kylian Mbappé, as well as the Royal Family. Madame Tussauds General Manager, Steve Blackburn, commented: “Lando Norris is firmly at the forefront of modern sport and culture: ambitious, fearless, and hugely popular with fans around the world. From the moment we started working with Lando, it was clear we were creating something really special, and our team has been working at full speed to ensure an exact likeness. He’s been fantastic throughout the process, sitting patiently and not rushing around as usual! We’re busy making sure his figure is ready for the podium and we’re incredibly excited to welcome guests to meet Lando in the coming months.”“It’s quite surreal to think that I’ll have a figure at Madame Tussauds, it’s a great honor,” Norris said. “Working with the artists has been incredible, and seeing all the details they’ve put into the figure is truly impressive. I can’t wait for the fans to come and see the finished figure in London this summer.”
