2025 Formula 1 Champion Lando Norris might have the coolest car collection in the paddock

Lando Norris just became F1 World Champion for the first time, which presumably means he’s going to celebrate by buying a new hypercar – maybe a McLaren, or maybe something else.

We know we would.

And unlike other celebrities who just buy stuff because they can, Lando actually knows what he’s doing when it comes to his car collection.

Interestingly, the crown jewel in his collection isn’t actually a McLaren, and it’s not even European.

F1 drivers can buy any car they want, but they generally don’t really drive them

F1 drivers get first dibs on limited-edition supercars from the manufacturers they race for.

That’s kind of a big deal if you race for McLaren or Ferrari, maybe a little less relevant if you race for Williams.

Although we’re pretty sure any F1 driver could easily buy limited-edition vehicles from different manufacturers.

After all, Lewis Hamilton bought a long list of rare Ferraris back when he was still at Mercedes, even though he’s now sold them all.

But the truth is, they hardly ever drive them.

Maybe they take them out for a quick spin around Monaco – where most of them live – but they mostly buy these hypercars as investments and then drive company cars.

For someone like Lando Norris, that company car is probably a McLaren Artura or another non-limited-edition McLaren.

Lando Norris has an incredible car collection

In addition to his daily drivers, F1 World Champion Lando Norris also owns an incredible collection of McLarens that aren’t exactly standard.

He has a McLaren 765LT Spider, a Senna, and a P1.

McLaren even created a one-off life-size LEGO replica for his P1, pictured below.

Other cars Lando has in his collection are his Ferrari F40, a Porsche Carrera GT, a bespoke Land Rover Defender, a Lamborghini Miura, and even a Fiat 500 Jolly Evocation.

Interestingly, the real gem in his collection is American, and it isn’t a new car.

Lando owns a restomodded 1973 Plymouth Barracuda.

Last year, Lando turned up to the F1 US Grand Prix in it, and as you can imagine, the crowd absolutely loved it.
