Lando Norris has offered to take Captain Tom Moore on a tour around McLar꧙en’s Formula 1 headquarters following the 99-year-old’s fundraising effort for the NHS.

World War veteran Moore has raised over £27.5million for NHS Char𝕴ities in the fight against coronavirus by completing 100 laps of his garden ahead of his 100⛦th birthday later this month. 

Moore, a long-time motorsporꦺt and F1 fan, smashed his original target of just £1,000 after nearly one million people donated to his fundraising page.

McLaren driver Norris arranged a video call with Moore over the weekend and invited him to visit the team’s Woking base �ꦐ�once the UK’s lockdown measures have been lifted.

“I want to say a big congratulations for what♍ you’ve achieved,” ꦕNorris told Moore.

“I’m sure you’ve been to🍃ld many times but from my si𓆉de and everyone at McLaren we want to say a big congratulations for what you’ve done.

“It’s my honour that I get to speak to people like you, Captain Tom. You’ve achieved things that very few people manage to achieve ever i꧒n their lifetime, especially at 99 years old and coming on to 100 – that’s another big achievement.

“We would love to invite you, eventually, whenever you want ﷽to McLaren for a little tour – or a big tour – whateve﷽r you want, of our whole facility.”

More replied: “Nothing would give me more pleasure than that. That would be phenomenal for me to ♐come round McLaren because I’ve been a McLaren fan for a very long time and I am still 🎃am.”

Earlier this week, Moore topped off a record-breaking week by๊ going to Number 1 in the UK charts w💮ith a cover of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ with singer Michael Ball.

Ov🃏er the weekend me and my family got the opportunity to speak to thanks to - this is a moment we will ne✃ver forget, so thank you for your time (especially my Grandson Benjie)!
