Lando Norris’ Adorable Encounter with Alex Albon’s Grandma Before Japan Grand Prix

In an endearing twist of fate ahead of the upcoming Japan Grand Prix, McLaren’s Lando Norris has won the heart of an unexpected new fan – none other than the grandmother of his Formula 1 rival, Alex Albon.

In a delightful social media post, Albon shared the charming tale of his grandmother’s chance meeting with Norris at Narita International Airport in Japan. The two engaged in a cheerful exchange, culminating in Albon’s grandmother excitedly snapping a selfie with the affable McLaren driver.

“Look who I met at Narita Airport. I just called him and said I am Alex’s grandmom. Achieved one of my dreams,” Albon’s grandmother jubilantly wrote in a text message to her grandson, ensuring Norris knew the authenticity of the encounter.

Sharing the heartwarming moment on X (formerly Twitter), Albon playfully noted, “Grandma has a new favorite driver it seems,” hinting at the unexpected shift in allegiance.

The adorable interaction has captured the imagination of Formula 1 enthusiasts, who have been charmed by the delightful rivalry brewing between the grandmothers of the two drivers. While Albon and Norris may be fierce competitors on the track, off the circuit, Albon’s grandmother has embraced Norris as her newfound favorite.

With both drivers eyeing success in Japan to bolster their teams’ standings, the stage is set for an exciting race. Williams’ Albon aims to lift his team from their current eighth position in the constructors’ championship, tied on points with Sauber and Alpine.

As anticipation builds for the Japan Grand Prix on Sunday, April 7th, the question remains: will Albon’s grandmother continue to cheer on her newfound favorite, Norris, or might familial loyalty sway her to support her grandson instead? Only time will tell in this heartwarming tale of unexpected fandom amidst the thrill of Formula 1 racing.
