Lando Norris has said he would be prepared to defy the FIA’s ban on drivers making political statements at Formula One races. He added that the opposition among drivers was so strong he expected the FIA to be forced into a U-turn on their position.
Norris was speaking at the launch of McLaren’s new car, the MCL60, at their Woking headquarters, the car named to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bruce McLaren forming the team. The 23-year-old is entering his fifth year in F1 and has been prominent in speaking out on mental health issues, as well as equality and diversity.
