Topps releases Norris card with Coca-Cola race suit patch

Topps has revealed a signed 2024 Dynasty Formula 1 card of Lando Norris that includes a piece of race suit cut from the Coca-Cola logo on his McLaren sleeve. The card, from the Single Driver Dual Relic Autograph set, was graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA. Topps shared a short video of it on Instagram, where fans quickly spotted the Coca-Cola branding.

The card has attracted attention because of a moment at the Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring Circuit. Norris was reportedly asked to put down a Coca-Cola he was drinking in the cooldown room, but he refused. PepsiCo, a rival of Coca-Cola, is an official Formula 1 partner, which added to the online debate. Speaking in Austin, Texas, Norris said: "I feel like we should be allowed to drink whatever we want after a race."

Norris added that the team may have been told off more than he was, and that the drinks holders used were unbranded. Dynasty is the most expensive Formula 1 product Topps makes, with each box holding a single encased, numbered card.
