It’s so lifelike, says Lando Norris as F1 driver views Madame Tussauds figure
The new figure has been unveiled ahead of the British Grand Prix.
Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris raced into Madame Tussauds London to see his waxwork ahead of the upcoming British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The figure of the driver is kitted out in a McLaren papaya race suit, donated by Norris, as well as a replica of the helmet worn when he clinched the F1 World Drivers’ Championship title at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Speaking after coming face to face with the figure, Norris said: “Seeing the figure finished and standing next to it is pretty surreal – it really is like looking at another version of me.
“I’m used to seeing myself in photos, videos or a reflection, but this is me in 3D.
“The artists have really nailed the details – it’s so lifelike. I also wanted to donate one of my race suits so fans can see up close something I actually wear when I’m racing and help make the figure feel as realistic as possible.
“I can’t wait for everyone to come and see it in London this summer, and I hope everyone has fun visiting.”
Guests will be able to pose next to Norris at the London attraction from June 30.
Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “It’s amazing to finally reveal Lando Norris’s figure to the public, and we’re sure fans are going to love it.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Lando for donating key race suit items – it really brings the figure to life. We can’t wait to welcome fans to strike a winning pose alongside Lando throughout the summer.”
The figure will take up residence in the Culture Capital zone, alongside the recently unveiled figure of England footballer Harry Kane, as well Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, Mary Earps, Anthony Joshua and Kylian Mbappe.
