Fresh dating speculation has erupted around Formula One star Lando Norris after he was reportedly seen spending hours with influencer Alix Earle at an exclusive London club before making a frantic dash to his waiting car.
The sighting comes as Norris and Australian teammate Oscar Piastri prepare to return to battle for McLaren at next week’s Belgian Grand Prix, with the British driver making headlines away from the racetrack.
According to celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi, Norris and Earle spent Wednesday night together in the private members’ club at exclusive venue The Twenty Two in London before leaving separately in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The Instagram post claimed the pair remained together long after most guests had departed, with multiple unnamed onlookers alleging they were ‘inseparable throughout the evening’ and spent hours talking.
‘Sources overheard part of their conversation which revolved around Lando’s Formula 1 career,’ the post stated.
DeuxMoi also alleged Norris asked the venue to remain open beyond its scheduled closing time.

Norris reportedly stayed until the early hours as speculation over his relationship with Alix Earle intensified online
‘Deuxmoi was told The Twenty Two was scheduled to close at 3am, but Lando allegedly asked for the venue to stay open an extra hour so he could spend more time with Alix.’
The account claimed celebrities including Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood had left by about 2.30am, while Norris reportedly stayed with Earle until approximately 4.15am.
Paparazzi footage shared online showed Norris breaking into a full sprint across the street towards his waiting car.
Earle turned heads in a plunging black dress with a daring neckline, while close friend Anastasia Karanikolaou matched the glamorous late-night mood in an elegant all-black ensemble as they emerged from the exclusive London venue.
Just moments before Norris made his eye-catching getaway, the influencer was seen sharing a quick embrace with the McLaren star inside the club’s entrance.
Seconds later, Norris pulled his cap low over his face and broke into a full sprint towards his ride.
‘if only he drove as fast as he runs,’ one person joked.
‘The run was an ick lol,’ another wrote.

Should celebrities be judged for the company they keep or just their own actions?
‘The running,’ a third added with a series of laughing emojs.
Others came to the McLaren driver’s defence.
‘I love this for him. He’s young and hot and single he should be living his best life,’ one fan posted.
Another added: ‘He can hang out with whoever he likes.’
The latest sighting follows previous reports linking Norris and Earle during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, when they were photographed socialising with friends including Karanikolaou.
Neither Norris nor Earle has publicly commented on the speculation surrounding their relationship, and there is no confirmed evidence they are romantically involved.
The rumours have also reignited debate around Earle, one of social media’s most recognisable influencers, whose rise to fame has been accompanied by several high-profile controversies.
She publicly apologised after screenshots resurfaced showing her using a racial slur on ASKfm as a 13-year-old, saying there was ‘no excuse’ for the language she used.
Earle has also attracted headlines over her split from Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network and legal disputes with Gymshark that were later settled out of court.
Her candid ‘hot mess’ lifestyle content has also divided audiences, with some praising her authenticity and others viewing her as a poor role model.
More recently, she drew criticism over an outfit worn to Wimbledon that some social media users argued did not fit the tournament’s traditional standards, although she responded to the reaction with humour.
Some fans referenced those controversies while reacting to the latest rumours involving Norris.
‘Lando hang out with unproblematic people please lol,’ one commenter wrote.
Another replied: ‘@unicornpotionsx no frl like i’m trying to like him and this isn’t helping his case.’
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing Norris should not be judged by the company he keeps.
‘He can hang out with whoever he likes,’ one supporter wrote.
Another commented: ‘Just because someone hangs out with a person who’s considered problematic doesn’t automatically make them problematic too. People should be judged by their own words and actions, not just by who they know.’
Norris will return to the track alongside McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri at the Belgian Grand Prix, which begins at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit on July 17.
