This "Can't Live Without" topic was fun to watch once in awhile. I've noticed that it seems to be migrating to cover more sponsors of a given presenter, rather than what they actually use. I'm a huge F1 fan and really like Lando. It would be nice to learn something about him, other than his sponsorship profile ... which I already knew.
Yeah this is literally just Lando's corporate partnerships and promoting his various business interests 🤣 But honestly I think he's done connecting with his fans after all the hassle he has gotten so I don't expect to see much more 'real lando' content.
Daniels is a good option, some of the options like the helmet are an obvious one but he has some personal and niche ones and no real sponsor ones if I remember
I like Lando as a person, and a driver. He seems real nice and down to earth. However, this video, up until the last few minutes, felt more like "The sponsors I can't live without".
101% agree with you, this videos feels like a promo video, but sincerilly, he is one of the drivers and person that i think is imposible, or, at least, very hard to hate
i felt like it came across more like he has brand deals with things that he likes, but its probably a combination of the two.. the watch was pretty silly, who in this day and age would say watch over phone
Not surprised at all because this is F1, but this whole video was a brand deal for lando Norris and mclaren. LN karting, tumi, Richard Mille, his brand, Alienware, and mclaren.

@@StrongDiamond1 The earphones are a collaboration with Klipsch. Better sound quality than Airpods IMO(but Airpods still provide a better user experience if you use iPhone)
Even though this video is an 11-minute-long advertisement, I liked watching Lando here a lot. It would be awesome to see more Formula 1 Drivers like Charles, Alex or if its possible Max in this Series
his helmet is really HIS and i absolutely love it! such a fun personality - and i think the thing with no. 4 is pretty cool :) can’t wait to see him win!
When you see something in negative space, you can't unsee it. I automatically look for anything inside negative space You should look at Chris Paul's logo (has his number 3 inside the C and P) and the Fedex logo (has an arrow between the e and x), those are some of the coolest designs imo
I know people say that he's advertising his sponsors but the items he's showing are pretty essential if you're living his life. It's just that F1 teams nowadays have so many sponsors that they almost cover all your essentials
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anyone more adorable in my entire life :) Such a lovely lad. I really wish to see him progress and achieve great things with McLaren.
Lando and Daniel in my opinion are the most down to earth drivers. If you didn't watch F1 you probably would think that they are average people if you saw them on the street.
@@heizeking3557 But even Max said he enjoys spending time with Lando coz he is the most normal, they just go eat crepes and play water sports. He is very grounded
Sooo many comments about the sponsorships…but you all know very well that next to the actual racing and technical side of F1 is all marketing. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. This is his life every day.
I feel that he's not actually trying to actively promote his sponsors or his brands. It's more like they're really his necessities which he's lucky to have them all sponsored and provided for. Other stuff like hoodies, it was already a part of him to begin with and he feels like he needs them always that he made mclaren produce hoodies.
He's a huge F1 sponsor for a lot of teams so respect to him. His watches are unique and very limited thus us average folks will never own one but they are works of art. Watchmaking is a crazy skill.
GQ: Hey Lando do you wanna do our 10 Things you Cant Live without? Lando: Yeah sure, can a promote a couple things? GQ: Yeah sure, how many of your things are promotions? Lando: Yes.
Is it me or after he said his mom was Belgian his accent sounded like I could hear the Dutch side come out of his voice (during the helmet part) whereas in most interviews I've never noticed that before
Lando is my single favorite person in the world other than my family..........I'd give anything to meet him! Or even just talk to him! Or even a photo with him!
0:29 As first glance, i was tought about "Hey that helmet design looks like Valentino Rossi design", and second later he explained 😂 I'm so happy when F1 drivers mentioned about motoGP drivers, and vice versa. And you can't deny VR popularity on motorsports tho
“Lando shows us McLaren and LN merch” lol
This. And nothing else.
Yep
Thats how life works when you are top 20 in the world you dont need to buy the stuf you need you get it sponserd
Exactly what the sponsors want 🤣
Before anyone falls victim to those earbuds, STAY AWAY!!!!! Worst, most over-priced earbuds I've ever regretted buying
New title idea : "Lando advertises his sponsors to meet contractual obligations"
Lol true
he even says “i have to wear it everywhere” regarding the richard mille he’s required to wear any time he’s on camera
@@EL1TESHARK ...and all his Sponsors are of Quality. I would wear that RM a day. ..and its Value at least 2 million euros
@@EL1TESHARK so, since he has to wear it everywhere one could say it's an "essential", no?

Facts
I feel like that's the point of these videos anyway, they just share their sponsors and all😅
@@WallaceFREEEDOOOMthis is nowhere true but okay
i like how lando always HAS to mention carlos at least once
I think he probably mentioned him during the golf part... but it's get cut? Like he's the one who got him totally addicted with golfing... 😅
@@ekafebrianita Really?! where can I watch the cut part?
Definitely yes
So nice of GQ to include up and coming new streamers, maybe he has a future
Next up we need Mr. Shaarl Leglerc Inchident himself
@@lotfuschh You mean Charles “Chuck” Leclerc?
@@jektopi charles le chair

You must not watch F1, he's a driver so has alrady made it. he's also more known for F1 than streaming smh.
Not surprised at all because this is F1, but this whole video was a brand deal for lando Norris and mclaren. LN karting, tumi, Richard Mille, his brand, Alienware, and mclaren.

Lando - i don't know what carlos listens to
Carlos - smooth operatorrrrrrrrrr
The marketing team did its works, I love it 😂
I love how he spends so much time exposing everything about his helmet 💪
It felt like the most genuine part of the video 👌🏼 was the only part it didn’t feel like he was made to promote his sponsors 😂
@@miekeh7728 hahaha absolutely, the rest of the video was sponsored by McLaren 😂
Now that lando showed the 4 inside his logo. It’s all I can see. Can’t believe all these years I have never noticed it
Same I never knew that before but now I can't unsee it
I know, same! It's such a clever design!
I first noticed the 4, then took me some weeks to notice L and N :)
When you see something in negative space, you can't unsee it. I automatically look for anything inside negative space

Love Landos helmet. He has a lot of iconic and creative ones, but his signature blue and yellow is very recognizable
Lando's 10 sponsored items.
You should do one with Seb. I'm pretty sure he has some nice things to share.
Yes! Would love to see Seb do this.
“This is my bicycle!”
And Fernando
We need more f1 drivers essentials GQ!!!
George Russell, Max Verstappen or even Carlos Sainz would be good
Can't wait to see the Mercedes merch and Red Bull merch as well. This interview was literally a Mclaren and LN merch sponsor😂
Hamilton: "this is Pegasus, I travel everywhere on it. and this is my 81 giga watt sound system that I play music on it"
@@NovaDaGoat Charles Lec
@@HakarDoski he sold Pegasus a long time ago but go on mate

“I struggle to see when there’s too much sun” -Lando Norris
Does he not realize it’s because his eyes are blue?
Lando not being able to do anything without talking about Carlos
He obligated to show you these items 😂
How confident and mature he has become. Brilliant presentation. Well done that man x
side note he looks incredible in this
I can't unsee the 4 in Landos logo anymore :D
Lando might be the friendliest driver with the media that i have ever known
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anyone more adorable in my entire life :) Such a lovely lad. I really wish to see him progress and achieve great things with McLaren.
Feels some said ‘show a sponsor’ and when Lando asked which one, he never got an answer so is showing ALL the sponsors. 😂
Lando and Daniel in my opinion are the most down to earth drivers. If you didn't watch F1 you probably would think that they are average people if you saw them on the street.
all the famous people are average people at the end of the day, some of them just act like they aren't
@@heizeking3557 But even Max said he enjoys spending time with Lando coz he is the most normal, they just go eat crepes and play water sports. He is very grounded
@@aquabonsu1 yeah it looks like it, but there's lot more behind the scenes, so we can never know for sure
Some say it's a merch show. It was pretty honest and relaxed for me. Well put together!
Surprising that no one's even mentioned about Lando having a Samsung tablet which is quite a rare sight in the world of iPads used by other celebs.
Gotta love Lando.
i love lando but this feels like an 11 min long ad with all his products lmao
the L N 4 was an ''ahhhhh'' moment for me. wicked idea
He’s the first Celeb I met I still am a bit shocked and overwhelmed when I met him ngl
That watch cost more than most of our houses probably 😂
when they showed his tablet, I thought he was gonna talk about his F1 car
"yeah I carry my F1 car with me everywhere"
Lando is surely one of the most personable drivers in F1. It could use more of that.
Danny Ric has entered the Chat.
Nah I think Mazepin is up there
Ok, then how about Mclaren being the most personable team.
of course he finds a way to mention carlos
Yes, but he didn't mention that Carlos got him into golf.......
loving the abundance of Lando content recently
8:20 jazz lando. carlos likes to listen to jazz in the mornings
Yazz, he likes to listen to yazz in the morning while drinking his coffee out of yugs! Carlos pronounces j words with a y. 😂❤❤❤
Can’t believe he didn’t mention Carlos when he was talking about golf😢
Sooo many comments about the sponsorships…but you all know very well that next to the actual racing and technical side of F1 is all marketing. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. This is his life every day.
I miss the Carlando days
Omg so proud of LN to see him on GQ! About time!!
Lando being a Tarkov player is halarious and unexpected but epic
I never thought I’d hear Lando say he plays Tarkov. He knows the pain and suffering of Tarkov.
Now I can’t unsee the 4 in LN
I feel that he's not actually trying to actively promote his sponsors or his brands. It's more like they're really his necessities which he's lucky to have them all sponsored and provided for. Other stuff like hoodies, it was already a part of him to begin with and he feels like he needs them always that he made mclaren produce hoodies.
This is definitely it. Why are people so jealous? Lol
Exactly
5:20 Lando throwing hints about his contract obligations
that logo is really clever
I’m not a Richard Mille fan. But this is the one guy that it just works on.
He's a huge F1 sponsor for a lot of teams so respect to him. His watches are unique and very limited thus us average folks will never own one but they are works of art. Watchmaking is a crazy skill.
7:44 "its little bit like a tire, race tire, intermediate" doesnt remind you something?
*Sochi 2021 Flashbacks*
surprised that a mixer and camera aren't here for all his side hobbies lol
Probably not sponsored by the companies that make them that’s why they didn’t make the cut 😂
0:54 why his ears look elf like. (Not in a mean way, I think it’s cute)
that's not the Belgian vlag tho, it's the flemish flag, the part in Belgium where they speak dutch.
It's Lando. He probably can't even point to Belgium on an atlas, let alone identify their flag. 😀
And lando is my essential
Can’t live without him 🥺
It's really so easy to like him isn't it :) Such a lovely person,so talented as well. I'm a massive fan , I just can't wait to see him win
no hate but i find this really funny that most of his essential are either sponsored or his own stuff 🤣🤣🤣
GQ: Hey Lando do you wanna do our 10 Things you Cant Live without?
Lando: Yeah sure, can a promote a couple things?
GQ: Yeah sure, how many of your things are promotions?
Lando: Yes.
I won this version of Landos helmet in a sim racing competition, signed, replica hp77 truly awesome🤯
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this since Essentials with Danny Ricciardo. Thanks!
I remember when Daniel used to do this. Out with the old and in with the new? Hurts to think about but that’s F1
In Lando Norris's vid: here’s the stuff I can’t live without that’s totally not sponsor relegated
In Logan Sargeant's vid: here’s burger sauce
the fact that lando knows frankie stew& harvey gunn is mad. even tho he did say charlie
We need more videos with this guy!!!!
Please get all F1 drivers to come on this show.
Literally just an advert for his merch for the most part
Wow this series has never felt more like an advert
Him knowing frankie stew and Harvey gunn is a madness
Is it me or after he said his mom was Belgian his accent sounded like I could hear the Dutch side come out of his voice (during the helmet part) whereas in most interviews I've never noticed that before
yes i was just thinking that
Either Lando is a walking advertisement or this is the least authentic “essentials” video yet.
(7:57) The Ricciardo bit felt 'sponsored' as well.
I like this about finding out what a F1 driver Lando Norris cant live without very interesting thank you.
the helmet design is actually very creative, i love it!
Lando is my single favorite person in the world other than my family..........I'd give anything to meet him! Or even just talk to him! Or even a photo with him!
Best Marketer for F1
Lando: “Only esports team is the Halo team”
Rocket League team: 😢
This is the video that got me into Formula One
Carlos sainz should definitely do a GQ essential video
Number 1: Intermediate Tyres
“It’s an opportunity… to sell”
A complimentary RM is definitely a perk of driving for mclaren lol
We need charles leclerc for this one !!
Im convinced that this is just a massive comercial
His Halo helmet was so sick
Wow I didnt know DJ Lando races in F1 as a side job. Very cool.
Richard Mille that also got me mugged LoL
Lando is a good dude.
His rugzak (backpack) hahaha his Belgian roots is shining.... Hahahaha
like, i know this is basically a long ad, but theres some really fun facts about lando in this video and he talks so naturally
I love lando but it’s more of a sponsor video than anything
i love that lando plays tarky
FINALLY! A BANG GUEST. GET MORE F1 GUYS. WE NEED MAX & LEWIS!!!!
Lando my initials are LN too 😂 my surname is also Norris 😂😂😂
4:48 Mugger: nice watch guv, you don't mind if I borrow it for a while yeah
0:29 As first glance, i was tought about "Hey that helmet design looks like Valentino Rossi design", and second later he explained 😂
I'm so happy when F1 drivers mentioned about motoGP drivers, and vice versa. And you can't deny VR popularity on motorsports tho
"Quadrant is expanding" he didnt lie, they signed a rocket league team!
this whole video was sposored, but it was cool. He has an amezing helmet.
Lando getting the sponsors in 😂
