The McLaren driver reca༒lls being put in a headlock in a car park outside of the football stadium after being approached by two men.

His Richard Mille 67-02 watch - one of only five in the world, worth an estim𓆏ated £144,000 - was taken off his wris🌃t.

The inc𓆉ident happened on 11 July 2021 when England lost to Italy in the final of the European Championsh𒉰ips.

Norris had parked his £165,000 McLaren GT sportscar in 🍎a VIP cark park outside the stadium, he told police.

He said: “After attending Wembley Stadium, I was speaki꧑ng to members of the public and noticed Suspect One and Suspect Two walk aroun🥂d my car, while I was talking to other people. 

“I noticed them looking at my car and myself and the first 💛one was keeping his head down and had his right hand near his pocket.

“Suspect One slowly approached me and asked me: ‘Is this yoꦛur car?’ 

“I don’t recall exactly what happened, but Suspect One then w🔥ent behind me and put his right arm aroun𝓡d my neck and his left arm under my back.

“Suspect One 🐭pulled me into him and pulled me back onไ my neck, meaning I was facing the sky and I couldn’t see him at this point.

“Suspect One told Suspect Two to gra𝕴b my watch. He shouted multiple times: ‘Grab the w♕atch’. 

“Suspect One was holding me the whole time and Suspect Two was tr൲ying 🌃to grab the watch. He struggled for a while and then used force to pull the watch off, leaving scratches on my arm.

“When Suspect One had his arm around my neck Suspect Two managed to get theꦗ watc🅘h off my left wrist and then ran through the pedestrian walkway to Rutherford Way. From there I do not know where they went. My view was blocked.

“Suspect One was pretty close as he put hisꦿ arm a💟round my neck. Suspect Two was ten feet away and I saw Suspect One for around ten seconds and the interaction was around thirty seconds, not very long.”

DNA left o♓n Norris’ arm helped pol𓃲ice find the two suspects. The court case continues.

The incident w✃as a week before the 2021 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
