10 Things F1 Driver Lando Norris Can't Live Without | GQ Sports

[@karimabdulmajid8060]

New title idea : "Lando advertises his sponsors to meet contractual obligations"

[@deadlizard95]

Lol true

[@EL1TESHARK]

he even says “i have to wear it everywhere” regarding the richard mille he’s required to wear any time he’s on camera

[@Mo_Faiz7]

@@EL1TESHARK ...and all his Sponsors are of Quality. I would wear that RM a day. ..and its Value at least 2 million euros

[@Maximilian_Ingrosso]

@@EL1TESHARK so, since he has to wear it everywhere one could say it's an "essential", no?

[@EL1TESHARK]

@@Maximilian_Ingrosso it’s a contractual obligation so it’s not essential, it’s an obligation to show it. i’d use the same argument for underwear, nobody except underwear sponsored celebrities brings up their underwear as an “essential” although it’s one of the most important items

[@DropDeadShh17]

“Lando shows us McLaren and LN merch” lol

[@heiko4297]

This. And nothing else.

[@dasaasadaris3675]

Yep

[@13sh15]

Thats how life works when you are top 20 in the world you dont need to buy the stuf you need you get it sponserd

[@pipitteu]

Exactly what the sponsors want 🤣

[@Squanto22]

Before anyone falls victim to those earbuds, STAY AWAY!!!!! Worst, most over-priced earbuds I've ever regretted buying

[@dthdthdthdth]

This "Can't Live Without" topic was fun to watch once in awhile. I've noticed that it seems to be migrating to cover more sponsors of a given presenter, rather than what they actually use. I'm a huge F1 fan and really like Lando. It would be nice to learn something about him, other than his sponsorship profile ... which I already knew.

[@gabrielt6556]

agreed

[@pyrophoria2206]

Well said, they didn't even show his diaper bag.

[@vashappeninlainey]

Ditto

[@MizzLoisJane]

Yeah this is literally just Lando's corporate partnerships and promoting his various business interests 🤣 But honestly I think he's done connecting with his fans after all the hassle he has gotten so I don't expect to see much more 'real lando' content.

[@regandodds8324]

Daniels is a good option, some of the options like the helmet are an obvious one but he has some personal and niche ones and no real sponsor ones if I remember

[@Lyfeel]

I like Lando as a person, and a driver. He seems real nice and down to earth. However, this video, up until the last few minutes, felt more like "The sponsors I can't live without".

[@jajasking9652]

101% agree with you, this videos feels like a promo video, but sincerilly, he is one of the drivers and person that i think is imposible, or, at least, very hard to hate

[@WallaceFREEEDOOOM]

i felt like it came across more like he has brand deals with things that he likes, but its probably a combination of the two.. the watch was pretty silly, who in this day and age would say watch over phone

[@benjohnston399]

[@heizeking3557]

I feel like that's the point of these videos anyway, they just share their sponsors and all😅

[@aurscac]

​@@WallaceFREEEDOOOMthis is nowhere true but okay

[@zoey8294]

i like how lando always HAS to mention carlos at least once

[@ekafebrianita]

I think he probably mentioned him during the golf part... but it's get cut? Like he's the one who got him totally addicted with golfing... 😅

[@StrongDiamond1]

Not surprised at all because this is F1, but this whole video was a brand deal for lando Norris and mclaren. LN karting, tumi, Richard Mille, his brand, Alienware, and mclaren.

[@pascalgarbage8176]

Even the tablet was a google plug

[@Maximilian_Ingrosso]

but it is his essentials though... he brings and wears it all everywhere

Even though this video is an 11-minute-long advertisement, I liked watching Lando here a lot. It would be awesome to see more Formula 1 Drivers like Charles, Alex or if its possible Max in this Series

[@leonoralennon746]

his helmet is really HIS and i absolutely love it! such a fun personality - and i think the thing with no. 4 is pretty cool :) can’t wait to see him win!

[@Mr.CabbageHead]

Lando - i don't know what carlos listens to Carlos - smooth operatorrrrrrrrrr

[@ani1185]

The marketing team did its works, I love it 😂

[@stephenmac23]

Love Landos helmet. He has a lot of iconic and creative ones, but his signature blue and yellow is very recognizable

[@thenotoriousrb4784]

I love how he spends so much time exposing everything about his helmet 💪

[@miekeh7728]

Same I never knew that before but now I can't unsee it

I know, same! It's such a clever design!

[@ejm110]

I first noticed the 4, then took me some weeks to notice L and N :)

[@sw120]

When you see something in negative space, you can't unsee it. I automatically look for anything inside negative space You should look at Chris Paul's logo (has his number 3 inside the C and P) and the Fedex logo (has an arrow between the e and x), those are some of the coolest designs imo

I know people say that he's advertising his sponsors but the items he's showing are pretty essential if you're living his life. It's just that F1 teams nowadays have so many sponsors that they almost cover all your essentials

[@SueRiotGraphics]

Feels some said ‘show a sponsor’ and when Lando asked which one, he never got an answer so is showing ALL the sponsors. 😂

[@oliverioo]

Lando might be the friendliest driver with the media that i have ever known

[@baoquoc3710]

Surprising that no one's even mentioned about Lando having a Samsung tablet which is quite a rare sight in the world of iPads used by other celebs.

[@FormulaCenter1]

Lando and Daniel in my opinion are the most down to earth drivers. If you didn't watch F1 you probably would think that they are average people if you saw them on the street.

I’m not a Richard Mille fan. But this is the one guy that it just works on.

[@BrianYochem]

He's a huge F1 sponsor for a lot of teams so respect to him. His watches are unique and very limited thus us average folks will never own one but they are works of art. Watchmaking is a crazy skill.

[@JTR_21]

Either Lando is a walking advertisement or this is the least authentic “essentials” video yet.
