Norris Rebukes Official Over Coca-Cola Request
Formula One driver Lando Norris got into a post-race spat with an official at the Spanish Grand Prix. After finishing third in Sunday's race, Norris was asked to put away his can of Coca-Cola while in the cooldown room. The McLaren driver responded firmly, 'I just did a race, so I'm allowed to drink what I would like. Thank you so much.'
Norris lost the lead due to an unfortunate timing of a virtual safety car, which prevented him from making a cheap pit stop.
The incident was picked up by fans and went viral on social media, with one fan describing it as 'the highlight' of the Madrid Grand Prix. The event itself received criticism for being dull, with only four overtakes throughout the race.
