Lando Norris<\/a> was spotted after the Monaco Grand Prix driving around in his luxurious Ferrari<\/a> 812 Competizione, with a suspected tribute to seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nNorris lives in Monaco – as many Formula 1 stars do<\/a><\/b> – and was spotted driving<\/a> around the streets of the principality rocking a stunning black Ferrari. <\/p>\n

\nOn the registration plate of the Brit’s Ferrari, however, was a potential reference to Hamilton’s move to the iconic red team. <\/p>\n

\n‘4444 L’ the registration plate read, with fans speculating on social media that this was a nod to Hamilton’s legendary race number 44. <\/p>\n

\nHamilton is the most successful British F1 driver of all-time, with great respect towards the 40-year-old held by the likes of Norris and George Russell<\/a>, who are both searching for their first world championship title. <\/p>\n

\n“I note the double ’44’ in the tag\u2026Lando paying not so subtle homage to the goat. lol,” one user on X commented, while another said: “So, 44 for Hamilton, 4+4 for 8 and L for Lewis. I never knew Norris was such a legend.” <\/p>\n

\nAnother user on the social media platform even suggested that Norris may have an affiliation to the Maranello-based outfit: “Everybody is a Ferrari fan either openly or secretly,” they said. <\/p>\n

Hamilton’s transfer causes huge waves<\/p>\n

\nDespite 12 trophy-laden seasons with Mercedes, Hamilton admitted when leaving the team that driving for Ferrari was a ‘childhood dream’ of his.<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n

\nThe pairing of the most successful driver in the history of the sport and the most successful and iconic team made for a tantalising prospect pre-season. <\/p>\n

\nHowever, the partnership has not got off to the best of starts, with the likes of Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen<\/a> dominating the early season headlines in 2025. <\/p>\n

\nEven Hamilton’s team-mate Charles Leclerc has outperformed his vastly more experienced team-mate, and sits 16 points ahead of Hamilton in the drivers’ championship<\/a><\/b>, with the Brit down in sixth. <\/p>\n
