During an interview after the summer break, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were on stage, sharing some light-hearted banter with the interviewer. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the drivers seemed to be enjoying the post-vacation catch-up.

The interviewer brought up a topic that caught Lando slightly off guard—a picture of him holding a tiny Chihuahua puppy. The photo was projected on the screen, and the audience reacted with a collective "aww." Lando, with a sheepish grin, took a quick glance at the image before the interviewer posed their question, "How was that, and has it made you want to get a dog like some of the other drivers?"

Lando chuckled, looking a bit amused and perhaps a little wary. "Um, no," he replied, shaking his head decisively.

The interviewer picked up on his hesitation, noting, "Your facial expression says a straight no."

Lando laughed, nodding in agreement. "No, I don’t have time for a dog," he explained. "Um, it has made my partner want one, though."

His candid admission drew laughter from the crowd and Oscar, who seemed to enjoy Lando's predicament.
