Lando Norris quickly rose to fame as the youngest-ever British Formula 1 driver at age 19 and is now paving his way to becoming the future Formula 1 World Champion. The McLaren Racing driver currently resides in Monaco, however, he spends much of the year travelling far and wide to compete in some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. And with a racing career spanning almost 16 years, the Bristol-born athlete has expectedly bagged quite an impressive collection of stamps on his passport.
In October, Condé Nast Traveller hosted an exclusive event with iconic luxury goods brand, TUMI, to celebrate the launch of its newest store in the heart of London’s Regent Street. Hand-selected guests joined Condé Nast Traveller contributor, Michelle Jana Chan with Lando Norris and TUMI creative director Victor Sanz in Hotel Café Royal. They discussed the shiny new TUMI | McLaren collection, for which Norris is a brand ambassador, alongside his personal travel rituals that make him feel “at home” during his arduous racing schedule.

Guests then moved to the opulent Pompadour ballroom where there was plenty of Ferrari Trento – the official sparkling wine of F1 – and signature canapés with DJ Riton (known for tech-house sizzler ‘Rinse & Repeat’) keeping the party going long into the night.
