Lando Norris Reveals He Would Be Gotham’s Knight if Not an F1 Driver

Thursday’s press conference might be one of the most boring aspects of F1 Grand Prix weekend. However, there are a few questions that make things exciting. This time it was which person or character they would be, and Lando Norris gave an answer that was sure to win the hearts of comic book nerds.

The McLaren driver is one of the youngest drivers on the grid, so it is no surprise to see him invested in comic books. While the world is divided over Marvel or DC, Norris choose a character from the latter.

Esteban Ocon chooses the Marvel universe

McLaren‘s Norris is not the only driver on the grid interested in superheroes; Alpine’s Esteban Ocon is a comic book nerd too. The French driver choose to go for one of the most loved characters in the Marvel universe, Iron Man. However, knowing the speed and technology the Iron Man suit has, Ocon doesn’t; think it will be that different from his current profession on the grid.

Ocon said, “I would like to be Iron Man. I mean he can fly! He’s such a cool character and you can still empathize with him because he’s human. I think it’s fascinating what kind of technical stuff he’s developing, it’s not that far from Formula 1.”

What did you make of their answers? Do you think Ocon could make a good Iron Man? Or do you see Norris filling in the shoes of Gotham’s Knight? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
