Norris urged to rethink podium celebrations after Sao Paulo scare

Source: Motorsport Week · · added 11 hours ago

Lando Norris claimed his third win of the season at the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo, but his podium celebrations drew attention after he broke his champagne bottle on the floor and then struck pyrotechnic sparks while avoiding a rival's spray. Norris escaped without injury, and David Coulthard said he was very lucky and should stop repeating the same behaviour.

Coulthard also called on the FIA to review podium safety, particularly anything that could send sparks or broken glass towards a driver. He praised Norris's drive in changing conditions, describing it as one of his best, and said the depth of talent across the grid makes the sport exciting.

Norris started from pole and won almost 15 seconds clear of his closest rival. He sits sixth in the Drivers' standings, three points behind Charles Leclerc heading into the final triple-header.
