Lando Norris with Valentino Rossi at Goodwood He was one of the announced protagonists of the Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrations weekend, but his performance on Friday ended with a bit of healthy embarrassment and a few… laughs. Lando Norris, guest of honor at the Duke of Richmond’s estate for the first time since he became Formula 1 world champion at the end of last season, was at the center of the spotlight on July 10th together with his lifelong idol, Valentino Rossi.

However, everything didn’t quite go according to plan: after a hundred meters of burning out the rear wheels, the Formula 1 world champion tried to take advantage of a small extension of the asphalt strip – right at the back of the Duke of Richmond’s mansion – to make a donut, a “donut” with the rear tyres. Except that the English McLaren driver miscalculated the spaces, ending up getting stuck and requiring the intervention of the course marshals before resuming his journey, as seen in the video below (from around 0:50). After getting out of the car and receiving the embrace of the public, who were particularly warm and passionate as always at Goodwood, the driver then joked about what had happened, not denying a bit of embarrassment. “In Formula 1 the rules are too restrictive and we are never allowed to have fun. In F1 we can never do burnouts – Lando Norris justifies – so maybe I need a little more training. I got stuck on the grass… it was quite embarrassing!”.
