Norris on site at Brands to watch Rossi shine

Valentino Rossi took his first podium in a round of the GT World Challenge Europe at Brands Hatch on Sunday, and the MotoGP legend had his number one fan in attendance to witness his achievement.

Rossi is a childhood hero of Lando Norris, with the two first meeting at the British GP back in 2019. And the McLaren charger is still a wide-eyed enthusiast whenever he gets a chance to catch up with his idol, who made the switch from four to two wheels in 2022.

On Sunday, as he watched the factory BMW driver and teammate Maxime Martin steer their Team WRT-entered M4 GT3 to the runner-up spot in the second race of the weekend in the GT World Challenge Europe, Norris' excitement was evident with every passing lap.
