Lando Norris Faces Outrage Over Misogynistic Comment
It all happened during a livestream hosted by driver Max Fewtrell.

It took only seconds for the comment to go viral across all social media platforms.
Many fans took to X and called him misogynistic. His fans and followers felt extremely betrayed by his comment. Many users even called him a hypocrite and mentioned that he had often praised women working in Formula 1.

However, not everyone turned against him. Some fans defended him and added that the comment might have been a joke and was taken out of context. The fans talked about his earlier support for women in the sport and how he thanked female team members after his wins.
