It is not every day you get to stand face-to-face with yourself, but reigning Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris did exactly that this week at Madame Tussauds in London.
The 26-year-old Somerset-born McLaren driver spent time earlier this year working closely with the world-famous Baker Street attraction to ensure his new wax doppelganger was an absolute dead ringer.
When the big reveal finally happened, Norris couldn't help but marvel at his silent, incredibly still twin. Striking a pose right next to the figure – which is decked out in a signature papaya-colored McLaren race suit generously donated by the champion himself.
Norris grinned and called the meeting "pretty cool”, before jokingly asking: "Is it weird if I compliment myself?"
The level of detail on the figure is unmatched, right down to a replica of the exact helmet Norris wore when he clinched his historic first F1 drivers' championship.
Reflecting on the bizarre yet thrilling experience, Norris said: "Seeing the figure finished and being able to stand next to it is surreal. The artists have really nailed the details too, it's so lifelike.
“I'm very happy with it and can't wait for everyone to come and see it this summer."
Fans won't have to wait long to see the champion's twin in person. The waxwork will officially be unveiled to the public on June 30, perfectly timed just ahead of next week’s highly anticipated British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Fittingly, the figure is set to take pole position in Madame Tussauds London's 'Culture Capital' zone, rubbing shoulders with British sporting royalty like Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, Mary Earps, and Anthony Joshua.
If you are heading to London this summer, it is the perfect pit stop to see an F1 World Champion up close!
