Lando Norris's last-minute crash caused a stir during the last few laps of the Canadian Grand Prix. After the race was over, fans drew a conclusion based on this famous person and his 'curse'.
There is a meme on the internet that Nico Rosberg 'jinxes' drivers based on where he takes a photo. It became a running joke after several drivers encountered problems during races where Rosberg had taken a photo in front of a driver's garage before the race.
This happened to Max Verstappen before the qualification in Hungary in 2023. The next day, the same thing happened to Lewis Hamilton, who ended up in fourth place from pole position, again after a selfie by Rosberg.

Rosberg 'cursed' Norris and Piastri

In Canada, it was not a 'who' but a 'where'. Instead of taking a selfie in front of a drivers garage, he took a selfie close to the area Lando Norris crashed.

In the last stage of the Canadian Grand Prix, Norris and Oscar Piastri were battling for fourth position. In an attempt to overtake his teammate, Norris misjudged a gap and went into the wall.
After the race, fans online connected the dots between the Rosberg 'curse' and Norris's crash.
