Lando Norris has shared the details of his spontaneous journey to visit his former teammate Daniel Ricciardo in Perth during the F1 offseason. McLaren has formed a formidable duo with Norris and Oscar Piastri after Carlos Sainz’s departure to Ferrari. They were in search of the perfect partner for Norris, which led them to Ricciardo. The Australian racer had a strong bond with Norris and they often had a great time at the paddocks during race weekends. However, McLaren was unsatisfied with Ricciardo’s performance and ended his contract early to bring in a new driver.
Despite establishing a good relationship with Piastri, Norris hasn’t forgotten about his former teammate. After returning from a trip to Bali, Indonesia with DJ Martin Garrix, the British-Belgian racer spontaneously decided to visit Daniel Ricciardo in Perth during the offseason following the 2023 season.
During an episode of The Fast and the Curious podcast, Lando Norris discussed his visit to Australia to meet with Daniel Ricciardo and shared some of the activities they did together.
Throughout the F1 offseason, Lando Norris has been constantly on the move. He first traveled to Indonesia and then made a visit to Daniel Ricciardo.

While talking about their offseason activities, Lando Norris also revealed that they did something that he probably wasn’t supposed to do.
In other news, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have expressed their readiness to compete against the top names in the upcoming 2024 F1 season.
