Emerging F1 star and McLaren driver Lando Norris shares his honest take on dealing with extravagant fame, specifically social media.

Norris is considered as one of F1's rising stars, garnering five podium finishes throughout his career. Apart from that, the British sensation boasts 4.4 million followers on Instagram. However, what comes with social media fame would be bizarre individuals that can be a headache to a famous person like Norris.

“It’s very, very weird,” Norris said of such people in an interview with ESPN.

“Honestly, it's very creepy what some people do. The time they spend trying to investigate things or people or whatever.

Norris then shares the worst part of dealing with the negative side of fame, which is having friends and family affected.

“I think that's been the worst side of it: someone who is just quiet on their own and they're seen with me at dinner or on a post on Instagram.

“There's still a lot of nasty fans, a lot of fans which are just not nice and just use a lot of people and things like that.

“I’d say that's been the worst thing about the popularity, is those kind of people. The people who don't respect your personal life at all and the people you hang with and so on. That's definitely the worst bit of it.”

With a young F1 star such as Norris projected to succeed even further, he has no choice but to handle the added fame that will be dealt with as his career and popularity rise. How will Lando Norris deal with it? Will he succumb to pressure?
