Formula 1 racing driver Lando Norris was violently robbed of his £144,000 Richard Mille designer watch when returning to his sports car after the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium, a court heard on Monday.
The 23-year-old McLaren star was put in a headlock by one unknown male and the unique RM 67-02 watch – specifically designed for the racer – was violently ripped from his wrist by a second man.
Harrow Crown Court heard Liam Williams, 25, of Bootle, Merseyside was the man accused of snatching the watch, allegedly leaving his DNA on the racing driver's wrist. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of robbing Norris outside the stadium on July 11, 2021, following England's defeat to Italy on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
