Champion Norris unveils his Madame Tussauds waxwork ahead of British Grand Prix

Lando Norris stood beside his own wax likeness at Madame Tussauds London this week, as the reigning Formula 1 world champion’s debut figure was unveiled ahead of his home race at the British Grand Prix. The 26-year-old McLaren driver spent months working alongside artists from the Baker Street attraction to ensure the finished piece met his exacting standards.

Norris donated one of his actual race suits for the figure and it will also be displayed with an exact replica of the helmet he wore throughout the 2025 season — the campaign that ended with him clinching his maiden F1 drivers’ championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“Seeing the figure finished and standing next to it is pretty surreal — it really is like looking at another version of me,” Norris said. “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.”

Madame Tussauds London general manager Steve Blackburn said the team was grateful for Norris’s personal contribution to the exhibit. “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.”

The waxwork will be placed in the attraction’s Culture Capital zone, where Norris will stand alongside seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and a host of other sporting icons including Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah, Mary Earps, Anthony Joshua and Kylian Mbappé.

The figure goes on public display this summer, timed to coincide with the build-up to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
