Norris sparkles in Sao Paulo despite firework mishap
Apart from getting too close to a firework, Lando Norris was virtually impeccable during a Sao Paulo Grand Prix that challenged the drivers to their very limits.
Lando Norris made a splash on the podium after winning the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, despite a fireworks mishap. During his celebration, Norris stepped backward and inadvertently placed his head in the sparkles from the fireworks on the platform. However, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella confirmed later that Norris was unhurt. The British driver's performance in the race was exceptional, with Stella praising him as one of the best drivers on the grid.
Norris took advantage of errors from his McLaren teammates, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, to climb from 17th on the grid to win the race. Verstappen and Haas' Isack Haas also performed well, with Verstappen starting 17th and finishing second.
