F1 star Lando Norris to get his own Madame Tussauds waxwork

Formula One winner Lando Norris is going to be joining Harry Styles, Zendaya, Mo Salah, and King Charles III as part of a very special club.

That's right - he'll be the newest waxwork added to Madame Tussauds.

It's a museum with lots of venues around the world that showcases likenesses made of famous celebrities, with musicians, actors, sports people and even members of the royal family made into waxworks.

Lando's figure will be displayed at Madame Tussauds London, which the F1 driver called "pretty surreal" and a "big honour".

The sculpture will sit in the London museum's Culture Capital zone, alongside fellow F1 champion Lewis Hamilton and sportspeople like Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Joshua.

Madame Tussauds has said the figure could be ready within a couple of months.

Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London said: "Our team have been working at full throttle to ensure an exact likeness.

"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."

Madame Tussauds say it takes more than 800 hours of craft to make a waxwork likeness.

First, a celebrity comes in for a sitting, where the makers will try and get an impression of someone's personality.

There are also LOTS of measurements - more than 250, plus up to 300 photos - needed before work can begin.

Moulds are created of the head and body, which are added onto a metal skeleton.

Hair, colour, and clothes are all added before the waxwork is displayed.

Lando Norris made history last year by becoming the first new British F1 driver to take home the drivers' championship trophy since Jenson Button's win in 2009.

He won the Formula One after the final race of the season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in December.

He started karting when he was very young and was only 19 when he made his F1 debut.

He races for McLaren alongside his teammate Oscar Piastri.
