Street near Bristol renamed in honour of 'local hero' Lando Norris after Formula 1 World Championship win
A street near Bristol has been renamed after Lando Norris to commemorate the motor racing star winning the Formula 1 World Championship.
Signage for Lando Lane has been installed on a pedestrianised avenue at Clarks Village in the Somerset town of Street, where Norris attended school for nine years.
It was during this time at Millfield School that the new Formula 1 World Champion first started kart racing when he was seven-years-old.
Chris Davis, centre director of Clarks Village, said: “Lando is a local hero and we are all absolutely delighted that he’s been crowned World Champion.
“He spent his formative years here in Somerset and it was during this period in his life when he took up karting, a path that has ultimately led to him becoming the best F1 driver in the world.
“Renaming our street ‘Lando Lane’ is our way of commemorating this incredible achievement from one of the region’s favourite sons.”
The renamed ‘Lando Lane’ is located off Farm Road, between Apple Court and Orchard Square, at Clarks Village, Street, Somerset.
