The wish was made known by showing a writing displayed on a sheet of paper: “Hi Lando, I’m your number 1 Mexican fan. Please, can you take a photo with me? Sunday is my birthday.” The detail, captured by cameras during free practice, did not escape notice McLarenwhich was immediately activated.

Milo woke up on Sunday morning with a first surprise: a pass to enter the paddock with an invitation from McLaren. But the best was yet to come for the very young fan: welcomed by the Woking team, before the race, he had the opportunity to meet Norris in person. The surprise moved the fan to tears, consoled and embraced by Lando. And after the long-dreamed-of photo, here’s another gift: following the race directly in the McLaren garage. The final tribute came from his idol on the track. Norris, in fact, exalted himself with an amazing comeback from seventeenth to fifth place in the Mexican GP. In short, a perfect weekend for Milo.

It’s not the first time that an F1 team has made a little fan happy. Also this year, on the occasion of Hungarian GPthe Red Bull had invited a young fan of Sergio Perez, who burst into tears after a mistake by his favorite. The Mexican took care of bringing his smile back. Ferrari also did something similar in the Spanish Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen’s retirement after just one lap had made a young Finnish fan cry. So here is the invitation from the Red Team to allow him to meet Raikkonen himself. A Sunday straightened out in the best way.
