Lando Norris reunites with Daniel Ricciardo for Indy 500 celebrations after disastrous Canadian GP

Lando Norris moved on from a disappointing Canadian Grand Prix by meeting up with Daniel Ricciardo and Conor Daly after the Indy 500

Lando Norris wasted no time putting a disastrous 2026 Canadian Grand Prix behind him, jetting off to meet up with former team-mate Daniel Ricciardo and IndyCar Series driver Conor Daly following the Indianapolis 500.

While the McLaren driver endured a miserable afternoon at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Ricciardo was soaking up the atmosphere of the Indy 500 alongside Daly.

For Norris, the post-race catch-up offered a distraction from a painful outing in Canada. After the Woking outfit opted to start the race on intermediate tyres, he had a fantastic start, jumping from third to first, and even extended his lead to around two seconds by the end of the opening lap.

But when the rain never came, the tyre choice very quickly proved to be the wrong one, causing the Briton to plummet down the order before ultimately retiring due to a reliability issue.

Meanwhile, roughly 800 miles away at the Brickyard, Ricciardo was experiencing his first Indy 500 as a fan.

Fans were quick to react to the reunion as Daly shared a photo on his Instagram Stories. "He needed a boys night out after that race," one fan commented on Reddit, while another added: "I love that Lando and Daniel ended up becoming such good mates. Despite everything Daniel went through at McLaren, you could see at the time that by the end of their two years there, together they forged a genuine bond."

"Lando for the triple crown!" another hopeful fan posted.

"If you ignore the no good, very bad race, he sure seems like he's having a lot of fun today!" someone else commented, and another responded: "Considering Daniel knows the pains of McLaren’s pitwall first-hand, not bad company to be in to get over a tough race lol."

Norris currently sits fifth in the drivers' standings with 58 points.
