In a recent podcast with BBC Radio 1, Norris poked Kelce for his investment in Alpine F1. He said, "He's invested in the wrong team, first of all. Yeah... that's gone well! Each to their own. A lot of people know about Travis now, especially after the Super Bowl and everything."

Lando Norris praises Taylor Swift
Further speaking about their meeting Norris shared his delight in hanging out with Kelce. He jokingly mentioned his newfound acquaintance with Kelce, expressing a wish for Taylor Swift’s concert tickets through this newfound connection.
He said, "I met him, I was out at dinner, I had to get some food in me after the race and he was there. One of my friends introduced me to him and he was an awesome guy, he was a legend, and he was very sweet we exchanged numbers and hopefully I can get to a game one day. Or a Taylor Swift concert!"
Meanwhile, Norris' victory in Miami elevated him in the drivers' standings, tying him with Carlos Sainz for fourth place. To nurture title aspirations in 2024, he must outperform Verstappen multiple times, given the substantial 53-point gap that remains between them.
He will be aiming for another win of the season at Imola this week. However, he will have a great challenge from the upgraded Mercedes and Ferrari. Red Bull is also improving their RB20 making things interesting for Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
