Formula 1 star Lando Norris is set to achieve another significant off-track milestone as he receives his first-ever Madame Tussauds London figure, with the iconic attraction confirming the wax likeness will debut this summer.

Since joining the McLaren Formula 1 team in 2019, Norris has accumulated 11 race wins and clinched his maiden World Championship in 2025. Now, the British driver will join the exclusive ranks of celebrities immortalized at the famous London venue.

Reflecting on the honor, Norris expressed his excitement: "It's pretty surreal to think I'll have a figure in Madame Tussauds, it's such a big honour. Working with the artists has been awesome, and seeing all the detail they've put into the figure is really impressive. I can't wait for fans to come and see the finished figure in London this summer."

Collaborative Creation Process

Norris has been working closely with the Madame Tussauds London studio team throughout the creation process, with the attraction's artists meticulously capturing every detail of the Formula 1 champion.

Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, praised Norris's involvement: "Lando Norris is firmly at the forefront of modern sport and culture – ambitious, fearless and hugely popular with fans around the world. From the moment we started working with Lando, it was clear we were creating something really special, and our team have been working at full throttle to ensure an exact likeness."

Blackburn added with humor: "He's been fantastic throughout the process, patiently sitting still and not racing around as usual! We're busy ensuring his figure is podium-ready and are incredibly excited to welcome guests to meet Lando's likeness in the coming months."

Joining Sporting Royalty

Norris's wax figure will be displayed in Madame Tussauds London's Culture Capital zone alongside fellow Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton. This section of the attraction also features numerous other sporting icons including football superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, and Kylian Mbappe, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, and women's football star Mary Earps MBE.

The addition of Norris to Madame Tussauds' collection comes at a time when the driver continues to build his legacy in Formula 1 and expand his global influence beyond the racetrack.

Fans of the McLaren driver will have the opportunity to see the finished wax figure when it goes on display at Madame Tussauds London later this summer, marking another significant achievement in Norris's already impressive career.
