Lando Norris had a wonderful start to the 2025 Formula 1 season with a win at the Australian Grand Prix, which changed the fate of many amid the rain. He followed it up with podium finishes in all the races, except the latest one in Jeddah—the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. However, he has been increasingly dissatisfied with the results and has now revealed that he has given up alcohol and hasn’t had a single drink in months, just like Lewis Hamilton.
Lando Norris says no to partying and drinking amid title pursuitLando Norris’ frustration also stems from the fact that he is gradually falling behind his teammate Oscar Piastri in the driver standings. Piastri has won three of the five races this season. Norris recently told Planet F1 about his decision to quit alcohol.
Last year, Norris hurt his nose after falling on broken glass while partying with his friends during the Koningsdag (King’s Day) celebrations in the Netherlands. He sported a bandaged nose when he returned for the Miami Grand Prix, where he registered his first F1 victory. When asked if he was visiting the Netherlands again for the same celebration this year, he said: “I would have loved to go again because it was one of the best days of my life. And last time, I won in Miami straight afterwards. I miss all my friends. I had a good week in Amsterdam with Martin [Garrix, DJ], but I’m fighting for the World Championship now."
"I can’t afford to do that now. I have to go back home and train. The [Jeddah] race was physically demanding and I’d like to have a drink now. But I haven’t had a single drink all year and I’m proud of that. I just have to keep working hard and can’t go out and party. I’m competing against the best in the world here – Max [Verstappen], Oscar [Piastri], Charles [Leclerc] and George [Russell]. If I make even the slightest mistake, I have to pay for it immediately,” he added.
