Lando Norris Praises Volvo Drift Machine After Thrilling Challenge With Solberg Duo

Ahead of this season's opening round at Albert Park, 2025 Formula 1 champion Lando Norris took time to discuss an exciting off-track adventure that left a lasting impression on the British driver.

As part of a Monster Energy-backed drifting experience, Norris joined forces with Swedish-Norwegian rally competitor Oliver Solberg and his accomplished father Petter Solberg, alongside renowned drifting champion Steve 'Baggsy' Biagioni for an exhilarating snowy challenge.

During his media interactions in Melbourne, Norris reflected fondly on the opportunity, describing the experience as genuinely memorable. The standout moment, he revealed, came from the vehicle itself—a Volvo that he singled out for particular praise.

"I drove a Volvo," Norris explained to gathered journalists. "But maybe one of the most fun cars I've ever driven," he continued, highlighting just how much he enjoyed the unconventional machine and the dynamic challenge it presented.

The experience showcased a different side of motorsport for the reigning champion, allowing him to test his driving skills in a completely different discipline while spending time with some of rallying's most accomplished figures.
