Lando Norris should take a lesson from his last big party perhaps tone down the celebration for his first career Formula 1 victory.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. —
Norris arrived in Miami with a bandage covering stitches on his nose from a cut received by broken glass while he was in Amsterdam following F1’s last outing. Norris was celebrating King’s Day with DJ Martin Garrix when he cut his nose. Norris then controlled the race to give McLaren its first win since a Daniel Ricciardo victory in 2021. Ricciardo was among the handful of drivers who found Norris for a congratulatory hug following the race.
It took him a few minutes of wiping his eyes clear before he slammed his own champagne bottle to the ground to force it into a heavy stream he used to soak his McLaren team below the podium. He also tossed the winning trophy into the air, but caught it. McLaren has now won an F1, Formula E and IndyCar race in the past two months. Norris is the first driver since Carlos Sainz Jr. to beat Verstappen this season - and Verstappen was eliminated from that race in Melbourne with a mechanical failure.
Ferrari drivers Leclerc and Sainz finished third and fourth and were followed by Sergio Perez of Red Bull.
