Lando Norris Defies F1 Sponsorship Rules After Spanish GP
Formula One driver Lando Norris was told he couldn't drink Coca-Cola in the cooldown room after the Spanish Grand Prix, but he snapped back at the staff member. The McLaren ace had just finished third in his first race of the season and was frustrated with the Virtual Safety Car that allowed Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen to jump ahead of him.
Norris was seen drinking a can of Coca-Cola in the cooldown room, but he was apparently told it wasn't allowed due to F1's sponsorship deal with Pepsi. In response, Norris quipped 'Am I getting told off? I just done a race so I'm allowed to drink what I would like.'
Norris' reaction has sparked debate among fans and pundits about the strict rules surrounding sponsorships in F1.
