Lando 🐈Norris has promised to cut all of his hair off after running a Twitch Stream Aid fundraiser which gained over $12,𓆉000.

The McLaren driver took part in a virtu⛦al racing event on Saturday to help raise money for charity amid the coronavirus pandemic. The British driverꦺ set the donation target at $10,000 to get him to shave his hair off and the fundraiser duly exceeded $12,000, leaving him with only one option.

“Thanks to all my viewers for raising over $12,000 by the end total for Twitch Stream Aid and the fig🎃ht against Covid-19,” Norris wrote on Instagram. “I do have to cut all my hair off now though...”

While Norris is y꧂et to show proo𓃲f he has carried out the shave, he is expected to reveal his new look in the coming days.

McLaren team-mate Carlos Sainz res🐟ponded to Norris on Instagramꦡ: “Oh boy I’m ready.”

The 20-year-old’s novel way to help out during the coronavirus crisis comes as part of Formu🅷la 1’s wider response during its ongoing 2020 season delays🤪.
