LANDO Lane is the latest addition to the Somerset street map, in celebration of county Formula 1 racer, Lando Norris.

The 26-year-old secured his first Formula 1 world title on Sunday with a third-placed finish in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

And back in his home county, where he was raised in Glastonbury and attended Millfield School, a pedestrianised avenue at Clarks Village, in Street, was renamed in his honour.

Chris Davis, centre director of the shopping outlet, said: “Lando is a local hero and we are all absolutely delighted that he’s been crowned World Champion.

“He spent his formative years here in Somerset and it was during this period in his life when he took up karting, a path that has ultimately led to him becoming the best F1 driver in the world.

“Renaming our street Lando Lane is our way of commemorating this incredible achievement from one of the region’s favourite sons.”

Lando Lane is located off Farm Road, between Apple Court and Orchard Square, at Clarks Village.
