Lando Norris had a good day in one league on Sunday evening, but did not had the same result in the other league. The Brit, however, put a smile on everyone's face again.

Max Verstappen skipped a lap and so it was up to Formula 1 driver Norris to keep up the honour of the highest class in motorsport. In the Veloce Pro Series Norris competed with several drivers and simracers in the simulation and managed to win the first race by a reasonable margin.

On his home circuit Silverstone this was of course expected a bit, but also in the second race Norris managed to come back to second place from further on the grid with some nice overtaking as a result. After the race the Brit was very satisfied with his performance.

However, that was not the case during the other event. On the official Formula 1 game F1 2019. Norris had to start a catch-up race from sixteenth place and came quickly to the front, but had reckoned outside Marcus Ericsson. The Swede covered an overtaking and Norris came in a spin. He couldn't resist quoting Grosjean: 'I think Ericsson hit us'.
