McLaren’s Lando Norris<\/a> caught the attention of fans by arriving ahead of Friday’s practice and sprint qualifying for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix weekend in a classic Jaguar E-type 4.2.<\/p>\n

The 1960s British sports car is a fitting addition to Norris’s impressive personal car collection. Powered by a 4.2-litre inline-six engine, the classic E-type can produce up to 265 horsepower, go from 0 to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and can reach a top speed of approximately 150mph.<\/p>\n

Footage of the Briton arriving at his home circuit quickly spread online. A video shared on the official F1 TikTok page had been watched over 210,000 times and had received over 23,000 likes at the time of writing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other cars understood to have been part of Norris’s collection include a bespoke McLaren<\/a> 765LT Spider, a McLaren P1, a McLaren Senna, a Ferrari<\/a> F40, a Lamborghini Miura P400, a Porsche Carrera GT, a Shelby Cobra 427, a Lamborghini Urus Performante, a Liberty Walk Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, a Fiat 500 Jolly Evocation and a custom roofless Land Rover Defender 90.<\/p>\n

The focus quickly moved on to the on-track action. After qualifying sixth for\u00a0the sprint race at Silverstone, Norris secured third place in the 17-lap race, finishing behind race winner Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s been a mixed start to the season for the reigning champion. He currently sits fourth in the drivers’ championship with 85 points, two points ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc<\/a> in fifth and 47 points behind Hamilton in third.<\/p>\n

Norris has so far celebrated on the podium twice this season. He finished the Miami Grand Prix in second and formed part of an all-British podium at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix when Hamilton claimed his first win with Ferrari and Mercedes’ George Russell<\/a> finished second.<\/p>\n
