Lando Norris involved in freak accident during British GP celebrations at Silverstone

Lando Norris was caught in a freak accident during the bustle of the post-race celebrations at the British Grand Prix following the McLaren F1 star’s maiden win at Silverstone.

The 25-year-old was all smiles in the paddock after the British GP, and made his way to the barriers to celebrate his victory with the crowd who had gathered outside the pitlane to catch a glimpse of Norris.

The extent of Norris’ injury was revealed later during a media appearance, where there was a visible cut on the bridge of his nose which had been treated and taped up.

Lando Norris won the British GP for the first time

Norris triumphed over his team-mate Oscar Piastri to take the win at Silverstone, with the Australian driver unable to challenge for the lead after he served his 10-second time penalty.

The winners trophy is the only piece of silverware drivers were able to take home at Silverstone this year, with P2, P3 and the constructors’ trophy all entirely made out of Lego.
