LONDON - Lando Norris has taken a voluntary pay cut while his McLaren team furlough staff in response to the COVID-19 pandemic but Britain's youngest ever Formula One driver is gaining in other ways from the sporting shutdown.
"He is the tech nerd of modern-day society," quipped Renault rival Daniel Ricciardo in an Instagram Q+A session with fans that Norris also popped up on."Not trying to be mean. He's everywhere." "Lando seems to have struck a chord with the e-sports stuff and I think the resurgence of McLaren as well has helped," Nielsen Sport's Nigel Geach told Reuters, referring to the team's fourth-placed finish last season.
With e-sports exploding to fill the void left by the lack of track action, he has been a standout across a range of platforms - competing in iRacing, Veloce Esports events and official Formula One virtual grands prix streamed on Twitch.
