Norris Fires Back at Official Over Coca-Cola Consumption

Lando Norris, the McLaren driver, responded sharply to an official's complaint about drinking Coca-Cola in the cool-down room after Sunday's race at the Madring street circuit.

The official told him off for consuming the fizzy drink on the sofa while watching highlights of the first-ever race at the track.

Norris shot back, 'I just did a race, so I'm allowed to drink what I would like. Thank you so much.'

This exchange was caught on camera and sparked praise from fans on social media, with one noting that Norris' rebuke was well-deserved, as 'absurd things are happening in F1'.F1 drivers can burn through 1,500 calories during races and lose up to 5% of their body weight.
