GOLDEN BOY LANDO TAKES WINNING CAR FOR ONE FINAL SPIN

NEWLY-CROWNED Formula One champion Lando Norris wore a fitting golden helmet as he returned to the track less than 48 hours on from his title success.

The Briton was back behind the wheel of his McLaren for the official postseason test at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit.

He walked into the paddock wearing a dark hoodie with ‘Champion’ emblazoned across the back.

The top also bore the ‘LNI’ moniker that Norris, 26, will now use as his personal branding, having dropped his No.4 to take the No.1 reserved for the title-winner next season.

But he still had the No.4 on his McLaren for one last ride yesterday, as he completed his final duties for the season.
