Reigning Formula 1 champion Lando Norris<\/a> has finally come face to face with his first-ever Madame\u00a0Tussauds London wax figure.<\/p>\n

The waxwork will go on display in London ahead of his home race, the British Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The McLaren<\/a> driver, who secured his maiden F1 drivers’ championship title at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, spent months working alongside artists from the renowned Baker Street attraction.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old driver also donated a race suit for the wax figure, which will be displayed alongside an exact replica of the helmet he wore during the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

“Seeing the figure finished and standing next to it is pretty surreal – it really is like looking at another version of me. I\u2019m used to seeing myself in photos, videos or a reflection, but this is me in 3D,” Norris said after seeing the figure for the first time.<\/p>\n

“The artists have really nailed the details; it\u2019s so lifelike. I also wanted to donate one of my race suits so fans can see up close something I actually wear when I\u2019m racing and help make the figure feel as realistic as possible. I can\u2019t wait for everyone to come and see it in London this summer, and I hope everyone has fun visiting.”<\/p>\n

Madame Tussauds London general manager Steve Blackburn added: “It\u2019s amazing to finally reveal Lando Norris\u2019s figure to the public, and we\u2019re sure fans are going to love it. We\u2019re incredibly grateful to Lando for donating key race suit items \u2013 it really brings the figure to life. We can\u2019t wait to welcome fans to strike a winning pose alongside Lando throughout the summer.”<\/p>\n

Norris’s waxwork will be part of the Culture Capital zone and will stand alongside seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton<\/a> as well as other sporting legends such as\u00a0Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, Mary Earps MBE, Anthony Joshua and Kylian Mbappe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to hosting the waxwork, Madame Tussauds London will also be hosting a competition, giving fans the opportunity to be in with a chance of winning a signed LN4 Grandstand Dad Cap.
