Lando Norris conquers Miami Grand Prix for 1st career F1 victory

Lando Norris should take a lesson from his last big party perhaps tone down the celebration for his first career Formula 1 victory.

His reaction following the Sunday victory in the Miami Grand Prix showed the British driver probably doesn't plan to miss a beat.

Norris won in his 110th career start after a mistake by Max Verstappen ended Verstappen's dominance at the circuit in the parking lot surrounding Hard Rock Stadium. The 24-year-old driver sprinted down pit lane to leap into the arms of his McLaren crew, which crowd surfed Norris until he finally got to boss Zak Brown, who wrapped Norris in a bearhug.

Norris arrived in Miami with a bandage covering stitches on his nose from a cut received by broken glass while he was in Amsterdam following F1's last outing. Norris was celebrating King's Day with DJ Martin Garrix when he cut his nose.

"I'm just really proud. A lot of people, I guess, doubted me along the way," Norris said. "I've made a lot of mistakes over my last five years, my short career, but today we put it all together so this is all for the team. I started with McLaren because I believe in them and today proved exactly that."
