McLAREN MCL34 NORRIS ITALIAN GP
THE LANDOCTOR
With Valentino Rossi
In 2024, Lando Norris achieved his long-awaited first F1 victory. To celebrate this milestone, 7.COLLECTION presents a special edition model from Norris's debut year in F1. This model features Norris's tribute helmet to his hero, MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, worn during the 2019 F1 Italian GP.
The Origin of his car number and theme color
For Norris, Valentino Rossi has been a hero since childhood. During the F1 Italian GP in Rossi's home country, Norris donned a helmet featuring Rossi's iconic "sun and stars" design in yellow and navy. Interestingly, Norris's car number "4" and his theme color "yellow" are also inspired by Rossi, underscoring Rossi's significant influence on Norris.
Aspiring to be "The Doctor"
In MotoGP, Rossi, a nine-time world champion, was known as "THE DOCTOR" for his precise and skillful victories, akin to a surgeon performing an operation. Because we hope Lando will follow in the footsteps of Rossi, the package features the message “THE LANDOCTOR” and a proud photo of a young Lando holding his tribute helmet.
Presented to Lando Norris and Valentino Rossi
We had the privilege of presenting the special “THE LANDOCTOR” model to both Lando Norris and Valentino Rossi.
Rossi looked at the model and remarked, “This is the race where Lando wore my helmet!”
Norris received a model personally signed by Rossi, his hero, and accepted it with a bright smile — a truly special moment for both of them.
