Lando Norris eyes Formula E test after attending Monaco E-Prix
Fresh from watching the Monaco E-Prix, McLaren's Lando Norris openly expressed interest in testing a Formula E car, calling the series 'as good as it gets' in driver talent.
Lando Norris has admitted a Formula E test drive is on his radar after attending last weekend's Monaco E-Prix. The reigning F1 champion praised the series' intensity and driver quality, and revealed he's already discussed seat time with FE drivers like Jake Dennis.
Why it matters:
Norris' interest adds weight to Formula E's growing crossover appeal. As one of F1's top talents, his potential involvement could attract more viewership and validate the all-electric series as a legitimate destination for elite drivers.
The details:
- Norris attended the race before heading to Montreal for this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, walking the grid with David Coulthard and Karun Chandhok.
- He praised the unpredictability: "Always chaos, always carnage – everything you want from racing."
- Norris noted many FE drivers are former rivals: "The level of drivers you have here is top – it's as good as you get."
- He's discussed testing with Jake Dennis and others, though acknowledged differences between F1 and FE machinery.
- Other F1 figures at Monaco included Carlos Sainz, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Christian Horner.
What's next:
No timetable has been set, but Norris' public comments suggest serious intent. A test would be one of FE's biggest crossover moments, potentially happening during a future off-weekend. For now, fans will watch whether the McLaren driver follows through on his curiosity.
