McLaren driver Lando Norris has revealed how he injured his ear while celebrating his victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix in São Paulo.

According to TodayPress TV, fans noticed that a pyrotechnic device had struck his ear after the podium ceremony.

Norris explained what happened during the broadcast:

“My ear is fine, thank you for asking! Everyone keeps asking, ‘Why did you put your head in there?’ It all happened because champagne was sprayed into my eyes and I couldn't see anything. I had no idea where I was going. I don't think people realise how much it hurts when champagne gets into your eyes.

“I couldn't tell where I was heading, and suddenly I felt that my ear had become quite hot. I couldn't see what was happening; I just felt it. On top of that, I was already in shock because my glass had broken for the first time in my life. But there was no pain. I think I just felt something on my ear and assumed it was a fly.”
