Lando Norris has responded on social media for the first time since his assault last night. The young Briton says he is fine and happy with the messages and reactions he has received following the incident.

The McLaren driver was present Sunday night at the European Championship final at Wembley between England and Italy. He had a message on Instagram where he said he was proud of the performance of the team, despite losing the final.

Afterwards, the 21-year-old driver would have been mugged. It would have happened just before he wanted to get into his car to leave. According to the rumours, a special McLaren watch was stolen. The value of this would be 45,000 euros, according to several British media including The Sun.

Norris is doing well.

He let it be known on social media. It's the first time he let us hear from him. After the incident, he is trying to get physically and mentally ready for his home race this weekend at Silverstone.
