F1 champion Lando Norris, who grew up in Somerset, has come face-to-face with his first ever Madame Tussauds figure in London.

The lifelike statue is dressed in a McLaren papaya race suit, donated by Norris himself.

Completing the look are the star’s race boots, alongside a replica of the helmet he wore during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December 2025, where a podium finish secured his first World Drivers’ Championship title.

It'll be on display from next week (30th June), ahead of July's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

"It's so lifelike"

Lando Norris, on the launch of his figure, said: “Seeing the figure finished and standing next to it is pretty surreal - it really is like looking at another version of me.

"I’m used to seeing myself in photos, videos or a reflection, but this is me in 3D. The artists have really nailed the details; it’s so lifelike.

"I also wanted to donate one of my race suits so fans can see up close something I actually wear when I’m racing and help make the figure feel as realistic as possible.

"I can’t wait for everyone to come and see it in London this summer, and I hope everyone has fun visiting.”

Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “It’s amazing to finally reveal Lando Norris’s figure to the public, and we’re sure fans are going to love it.

"We’re incredibly grateful to Lando for donating key race suit items – it really brings the figure to life."

The new Lando Norris figure will feature in Madame Tussauds London’s Culture Capital zone, alongside a new for summer 2026 Harry Kane, and a star-studded line-up of sporting superstars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, Mary Earps MBE, Anthony Joshua and Kylian Mbappé.
