im going to update this with las vegas 25, miami 26 and silvo 26 soon! i still think transparency matters regarding cost considering how expensive going to a race is becoming and hopefully it can help someone!
Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo "drank till 4 in the morning" after the 2026 Indy 500, reveals IndyCar driver Conor Daly.
It was Ricciardo's 1st Indy 500 in person. His clothing brand had a partnership with Daly for the race.
Whereas Norris, who had raced in F1's Canadian GP on the same day (May 24), flew to Indianapolis Sunday night for a McLaren Indy commitment the next day.
But Sunday night? Drinks flowed. On the "Stacking Pennies" podcast, Conor Daly said:
"Lando Norris flew in from the Formula 1 race in Montreal. They were in Montreal that weekend. His race sucked, car blew up or something.
"We're (Daly and Ricciardo) at dinner at 10:30, and he (Norris) texts me. He's like, 'I'm on my way.' I said, 'What do you mean?' He's like, 'I'm gonna be in Indy in an hour.'
"And so, I'm at dinner with Daniel. I said, 'Your boy just is on his way.' And he's like, 'Awesome.' And so Lando shows up to Clayton's Country Bar about 11:30. Go get him at the back door, run him through the kitchen, and we drank till like 4 in the morning. It was a great time."
Daly says he had invited all IndyCar drivers there after the race, but no one showed up.

rare tommy W:
“[monaco and austria] are the only 2 races where lando’s not looked up to it. but he has been absolutely sensational the rest of the year.
“this [year] has been a proper ‘watch this’ because he’s been so strong, showing he’s one of the best drivers on the grid.”
“[in lando’s post race presser after winning the wdc], he got a huge, huge ovation. everybody in there was just really happy to see that he was able to get it done and in the way that he wanted to do it … lando wanted to try and do it differently.”
happy one year anniversary to one of my favourite lando wins till date 🫶🏿
what a tyre management and defensive demon he was that day. this win really solidified my belief that he’d be champion at the end of the season🙂↕️
Mais um elogio na conta! David Coulthard falou sobre Lando em um episódio recente do podcast Up To Speed. 🙂↕️
“Mais uma vez, um grande reconhecimento ao Lando pelo fim de semana incrível que teve. Foi uma atuação digna de um verdadeiro campeão mundial antes dele sair [para as férias de verão]. Achei engraçado que, quando perguntaram aos pilotos na coletiva de imprensa o que fariam durante as férias, todo mundo olhou para o Lando. Ele acabou ganhando a fama de ser o ‘festeiro’ do grid, o que, sinceramente, acho um pouco injusto, mas foi essa a reputação que acabou ficando com ele.”
