Drivers giggle in Baku: kid steals the show during national anthem

As usual ahead of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, drivers stand in their dedicated spot to listen to the host nation's anthem.

Similar to football matches or other major events, drivers are accompanied by kids who stand in front of them.

That was the case in Azerbaijan. The kids were especially passionate, but the boy standing in front of Lando Norris stole the show. His signing made both the McLaren driver and George Russell giggle.

Lewis Hamilton also grabbed his phone to record, and Carlos Sainz and Kimi Antonelli were also spotted smiling.

After Oscar Piastri crashed into the wall on Lap 1, and with Lando Norris finishing seventh, Verstappen trails the two McLaren drivers by 69 and 44 points in the drivers' standings.

Talking about his chances of winning his fifth title this year, the Dutchman commented in Baku:

The F1 season continues next weekend with the Singapore Grand Prix.
