Lando Norris wins the Sao Paulo Grand Prix and then his podium celebration goes wrong. Multiple outlets report that after collecting his trophy, he smashes a champagne bottle as part of his usual celebration, but the moment turns chaotic on the podium.
Several reports say pyrotechnics and/or fireworks are involved. Sky Sports and Motorsport.com focus on the availability of new close-up and POV angles showing the failed bottle-smash moment after Norris’s win. Yahoo Sports also emphasizes how the incident goes viral online following the podium mishap.
The Athletic adds detail that Norris is unhurt despite the “bizarre” podium pyrotechnics incident, framing the event as a scare rather than an injury. The Daily Mail similarly highlights that Norris is hit in the face by a firework after the bottle celebration goes wrong, tying the problem to his trademark “spike” celebration. Overall, the story centers on the same viral podium sequence: a champagne bottle smash after victory that coincides with unexpected danger from the display around him.
