Lando Norris to be honoured with Madame Tussauds wax figure in London

McLaren’s Lando Norris is set to receive his first-ever Madame Tussauds figure, with the world-famous attraction confirming that the wax sculpture will debut in London this summer.
The 26-year-old has used the current two-week break between races in Shanghai and Suzuka to get measured head-to-toe by the Madame Tussauds London’s studio team, and will join fellow world champion Lewis Hamilton in the wax museum’s Culture Capital zone.

Fresh off the back of his 2025 title victory, Norris’ stardom both on and off-track continues to grow, as he also joins other sporting icons such as Cristiano Ronaldo. Mo Salah, Kylian Mbappe, Mary Earps MBE, and Anthony Joshua to be honoured with a waxwork in London.

‘A big honour,’ says world champion Norris

Speaking on the Madame Tussauds website, the reigning world champion reflected on how it felt to receive what he called a “big honour.”

Norris said: “It’s pretty surreal to think I’ll have a figure in Madame Tussauds, it’s such a big honour.

“Working with the artists has been awesome, and seeing all the detail they’ve put into the figure is really impressive. I can’t wait for fans to come and see the finished figure in London this summer.”

Meanwhile, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, Steve Blackburn added: “Lando Norris is firmly at the forefront of modern sport and culture – ambitious, fearless and hugely popular with fans around the world.

“From the moment we started working with Lando, it was clear we were creating something really special, and our team have been working at full throttle to ensure an exact likeness.

“He’s been fantastic throughout the process, patiently sitting still and not racing around as usual! We’re busy ensuring his figure is podium-ready and are incredibly excited to welcome guests to meet Lando’s likeness in the coming months.”

While his spirits may well have been raised by plans to receive a wax figure at Madame Tussauds, Norris and McLaren’s Chinese GP weekend was a disaster, after failing to start the Grand Prix due to electrical problems.

Nonetheless, the Briton is confident the papaya team can execute a 2023-like turnaround, and potentially fight for wins towards the latter half of the year.
