LandoNorris

He has an older brother and two younger sisters.

His mom came up with his name randomly. He was not named after the Star Wars character.

LandoNorris grew up playing video games thanks to his dad, with one of his favorites being Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. He started when he was around six years old. He has always been passionate about racing, and grew up watching Grand Prix motorcycle racing, which is how he became such a big fan of Valentino Rossi.

He started go-karting when he was seven years old and his dad bought him a Top-Kart Bambino. When he was a bit older, his father bought him a quadbike, but then sold it was while later as he felt it was unsafe. However, a couple of years later, he bought him a motorbike. He then moved on to go-karting. His older brother then also got into go-karting and the two spent the first year primarily racing against each other, as well as George Russell who went to school with LandoNorris.

It was only when he was a bit older that he got into Formula 1. He then started doing professional go-karting when he was around 12 years old and continued throughout high school, as did his brother. In fact, he even completed his final year of high school through home school in order to focus on his karting career. His brother dropped out a while after LandoNorris moved on to the Ginetta Junior Championships in 2014, as he didn’t enjoy car racing as much as he had karting.

He joined McLaren’s Formula 1 racing team on September 3, 2018, when he was just eighteen years old.

He began uploading Formula racing content to his YouTube channel in March 2016. He started streaming racing games occasionally on Twitch in October 2018. He prefers playing with others, and enjoys interacting with his viewers, but only really began streaming consistently in March 2020 when his team was prevented from participating in the 2020 Australian Grand Prix after one of their team members contracted Covid-19. This resulted in his deciding to team up with other professional race-car drivers, streamers and footballers for a virtual Grand Prix on Twitch on March 15, 2020. The event was so popular, that over 70,000 viewers were attracted to the stream.

He therefore kept up the streams and eventually started teaming up with other content creators including CouRageJD and TimTheTatman in other games such as Fall Guys.

TwitchStats places LandoNorris’ subscriber base at over 12,450. As he generally attracts over 10,000 viewers, this should earn him at least $43,575 USD per month, excluding additional revenue from tiered subscriptions, tournament winnings, merchandise sales, his McLaren salary, donations, Twitch cheer bit contributions, sponsorships, and advertisements.

He doesn’t have a set schedule due to his professional racing obligations.
