Norris sparkles in Sao Paulo despite firework mishap
Lando Norris clinched victory at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, navigating a wet‑to‑dry track and a late rain shower to stay ahead of the field. After taking the lead when Kimi Antonelli spun on lap 17, Norris held off a charge from Max Verstappen, who had climbed from 21st on the grid to finish second.
During the podium ceremony Norris was struck by a stray firework while holding the shattered champagne bottle, prompting a brief spray from Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, but McLaren team principal Andrea Stella confirmed the Briton was unharmed and he later described the race as one of the toughest yet most rewarding of the year.
