A Ferrari reportedly belonging to Lando Norris was involved in an accident in Monaco as footage went viral on social media.
Norris experienced his best Formula 1 season to date in 2024 as he challenged Max Verstappen to become world champion.
The McLaren star was eventually left disappointed as Verstappen clinched his fourth successive title back in November.

However, Norris did have something to celebrate as he played a huge role in McLaren winning the constructor's championship, beating Ferrari and Red Bull Racing to the crown.
During the summer of 2024, it was reported that Norris added a new car to his collection.
As reported by Planet F1, the 25-year-old is said to have bought a Ferrari F40, which was valued at over $2.5 million.

Various images and videos of Norris driving the car have since circulated on social media, with the number plate stating '8650'.
Earlier in the month, it was claimed that Norris' car was carrying damage on the rear left bumper, and footage of the apparent cause has now emerged.
On social media, footage showing a Ferrari F40 with the same number plate was seen crashing into the barriers on a mountain road in Monaco.
Norris was not the driver behind the wheel, as the person who lost control of the vehicle remains unknown. You can watch the footage below.

The report from Planet F1 stated: "The impact damage corresponds with the damage spotted earlier in the month and appears to have had no impact on the car’s driveability – as evidenced by the driver immediately moving off to pull into the side of the road."

SPORTbible has contacted Lando Norris' representatives for comment.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Norris has stated his intentions to challenge Verstappen again, he said: "Next year we will go into the season with a car we think we can win the championship with from the first race and I'm very excited for that.
"I feel like I can fight for a championship, I can say that confidently, I have what it takes, some things to work on for sure and I can fight against Max."
The 2025 F1 season will begin in March with the Australian Grand Prix, which will be held around Albert Park in Melbourne on March 16.
