Lando Norris has become quite the overnight meme as a video of him sprinting to his car to avoid the paps went viral. The Formula One driver had spent the night with influencer Alix Earle at a private club, partying until the wee hours of the morning, fuelling already-existing dating rumours.
The two were seen leaving club Twenty Two, and while sources said to Deux Moi they “were inseparable throughout the evening”, Earle was photographed leaving with Kylie Jenner‘s bestie, StassieBaby (Anastasia Karanikolaou). Norris left alone, and his driver clearly mustn’t have been looking at his GPS, because he parked what seemed like yonks away from the club’s entrance.
One can only wait in a doorway for so long, so Norris thought it would be a bright idea to sprint past the paps and make a break for his car. TBH, I understand his thinking; it’s probably a lot quicker and easier than clamouring and pushing past. But his dash while covering his face with his hand was awkward, to say the least.
I wonder if it gave Earle the ick…

Whether or not it did, it sure made the internet cringe. People flooded to the comments to put their two cents in, and while some people were quite nasty, others were having a good ol’ laugh at the memeification of the F1 driver.
“I’m crying at him sprinting,” one Instagram user wrote in Deaux Moi’s comments.
Another wrote: “He really is a kid….”
Yikes.
People also had a field day voicing their opinions on X, joking about how he was running quicker than the McLaren he drives. Some were even calling in brain rot meme Tung Tung Tung Sahur to say that it was chasing Norris (I still don’t get that one to be totally honest).

oh lando norris never change
While the majority of people were icked out by Norris’ dash, some people defended him in the comments. Users wrote that they’re “young, wild and free” and to leave the two of them alone. As for others, they were absolutely here for Norris’ silly goofy run said it made them love him even more.
“His single boy summer has officially started and I’m so here for it,” one Instagram user wrote.
“I love this for him. He’s young and hot and single he should be living his best life,” said another.
One joked: “Oh I just know his PR team hates him”.
“That was Pole lando, P1.”
While the Earle and Norris dating rumours aren’t confirmed, one thing’s for sure: we got a hell of a lot of entertainment out of the McLaren driver’s antics. These pap photos give me a good giggle every time I glance at them, and I’ll be watching as more memes roll in.
