Lando Norris could leave McLaren at end of the season, claims Nico Rosberg
Lando Norris could leave McLaren at the end of the season with Nico Rosberg hinting that there is a “switch coming” for the British driver. Norris is currently in the midst of his fifth F1 season with McLaren and has a contract with the Woking-based team until the end of the 2025 campaign. However, the 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Red Bull to partner close friend Max Verstappen – with Norris admitting he would “love the opportunity” to be team-mates with the Dutchman down the line. Verstappen has echoed Norris’ thoughts and Rosberg hinted Norris could depart McLaren at the end of the season, saying on Sky F1: “Where’s he [Norris] going? Next year already. I hear there’s a switch coming.” Despite this, Norris has publicly reiterated his commitment to McLaren, especially following a mid-season revival in the last few months, while Verstappen’s current team-mate Sergio Perez has a deal with Red Bull until the end of 2024. Verstappen said of the potential link-up with Norris: “We’ll talk about it. But his contract to McLaren [is] for a long time. We’ll see what happens in the future.” McLaren CEO Zak Brown, however, is focused on a future with Norris firmly at the papaya. “He loves McLaren, it’s been his family, so there’s no doubt in my mind that his number one choice is to win a world championship with McLaren,” Brown said. “I think the best thing we do to retain him is to demonstrate to him we’re a team capable of doing that. It’s not a case of wooing him or not wooing him, it’s about giving him a car where he can look himself in the mirror and say ‘I think I can win a world championship with this team’. "We’ve got our team in place. It’s stable. We have additional talent coming to be additive to what we currently have. We have all the financial resources we need. It’s just going to take a little bit of time so as long as we can show this progress.” Norris has been on the podium eight times in his F1 career, most recently in Hungary in July, but is still waiting for his first race victory.

'Black Alien' can't get a job due to extreme tattoos and body modifications
A man who has had body modifications and is covered in tattoos to look like a “Black Alien” has said he can’t find a job as people “judge” him. Frenchman Anthony Loffredo is known as the Black Alien after having extreme body modifications, such as a split tongue and implants, as well as being heavily tattooed from head to toe – eyeballs included. He has amassed 1.2 million followers on Instagram as people take interest in the unmissable 34-year-old and his ever-transforming modifications. But despite his large social media following, in real life, Loffredo has opened up about the difficulties he faces due to his unusual look, including finding jobs. Speaking on an episode of the Club 113 podcast, Loffredo said: “I can’t find a job, there’s lots of negative stuff. It could be positive because you feel better, but you have to know there’s also a dark side.” Loffredo also opened up about what it’s like to deal with the way strangers react to him every day. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter He explained: “It’s a fight everyday, because everyday you find new people who don’t understand, who want to judge. “It’s life, not everyone understands everything. Like me, I don’t understand lots of things about lots of people. “You can’t judge someone, no one knows what’s inside someone’s head, why they’re doing that, you need to talk with this person.” To achieve his “project” of looking like an alien, Loffredo has had two fingers on his left hand amputated, as well as his ears and tip of his nose. But, he insisted he is simply a normal guy who wants to be treated like a normal person. He said: “I’m a normal guy, I work, I have a family… I like being looked at like a normal guy with a job, with a family, who has a friend, girlfriend, all of that. That’s what makes me normal.” Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.
