Lando Norris, the McLaren Formula 1 driver known for playful streams and team radio moments, became linked to the It's Friday then line through fan edits set to the viral Friday anthem that spread on TikTok in 2021. The original dance track by Riton and Nightcrawlers featuring Mufasa and Hypeman turned the days of the weekend into a chant, and Norris's version gave F1 fans their own mascot for it. Shared like a short f1 radio joke, it now returns every Thursday and Friday before a Grand Prix.
