Norris pays tribute to 'The Doctor' with Monza lid

He's an established F1 driver but Lando Norris has never hid the fact that his biggest motorsport hero has always been seven-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi.

The McLaren driver had a chance to meet his hero at Silverstone recently and watch the Italian rider in action before raiding at the end of the day the Valentino Rossi Monster Energy Yamaha merchandise stand!

Norris' signature blue and day-glo yellow helmet colors are directly inspired from Rossi, but this weekend the 19-year-old will be wearing a special lid design - and a pair of racing boots - dedicated to his idol.
