F1 ace Lando Norris is victim of ‘expensive robbery’ at Marbella villa two years after he was ‘robbed for £144k watch’

FORMULA 1 star Lando Norris has been the victim of an “expensive robbery” while he was on holiday in Marbella.

It comes just two years after he was allegedly robbed for his “unique” £144,000 designer watch in Wembley Stadium’s VIP car park.

The Brit was staying in a villa in Marbella, southern Spain, when the robbery is said to have taken place, although he was not in the building at the time.

Norris, 23, was holidaying with social media influencer Jennie Dimova, who has since spoken about the alleged incident online.

Speaking ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday, he said: “We were out for dinner and our place got robbed.

“A mixture of many things were stolen. Some were expensive and some were not so expensive.

“It is still an ongoing investigation so I cannot say too much.”

Dimova, who is reportedly dating Norris’ close pal and fellow driver Max Fewtrell, took to her TikTok page on Sunday evening to describe events.

She said: “If you’re wondering why I look like that, it’s because our villa got robbed.

“And everything I’ve ever owned: my bags, my clothes, my shoes, my jewellery, everything is f*****g taken.

“I’m left with literally nothing after collecting this stuff for f******g years. So, you know what? I mean, I cried for like two hours but, what can I f*****g do?”

The McLaren driver, 23, was targeted for his Richard Mille timepiece – one of only five in the world – as he walked to his £165,000 McLaren GT after the Euro 2020 final.

The Richard Mille “prototype limited edition McLaren watch”, also known as the RM6702, was the only one in the world with a blue strap made to measure for the driver’s wrist.

Despite never being made available for sale, the designer estimates the value to be around £144,000 – excluding VAT.

Liam Williams, 25, from Merseyside has denied robbing the Belgian-British F1 star on July 11, 2021, when he appeared in court last week.

Norris is currently struggling this season and has only scored 12 points after eight races.

Last weekend he finished outside the points in Montreal, after he finished in a disappointing 17th place in Barcelona at the start of June.

The McLaren driver is currently dating Luisinha Oliveira.
