Champagne, broken glass and pyrotechnics: Norris's unforgettable Brazilian victory!
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.”
