Norris' Cool-Down Controversy: Steiner Blasts F1 Driver for 'Unprofessional' Coca-Cola Move

Lando Norris faced criticism from Haas team principal Guenther Steiner for bringing a can of Coca-Cola into the cool-down room after the Spanish Grand Prix. Norris finished in third place, but his actions drew attention due to Pepsi's existing sponsorship deal with F1.

Steiner suggested that Norris should have been more aware of the situation and not brought the Coke, saying 'If you are a professional, you don't do that. End of story.' He also acknowledged that Coca-Cola benefited from the publicity, stating 'If they wouldn't have said anything, nobody would have even noticed, but because it was so bumped up now it's a thing, and now Coca-Cola is laughing.'
