The best day of Lando Norris’ life threatened to turn into a nightmare ending after a painful slip up at Silverstone.
The Glastonbury-born Formula 1 driver won his first-ever British Grand Prix, mastering the wet and chaotic conditions to close the title gap on teammate Oscar Piastri.
The celebrations were wild and a family affair post-race, but when he went back out to enjoy it with the fans, he had to head back early.
The McLaren driver went to the pitwall to show his trophy to supporters, but as he approached a photographer fell and struck him on the face.
The 25-year-old then made a u-turn, clearly in pain, with staff pointing to their noses to indicate the problem.
Footage appeared to show part of the pitwall failing which led to an individual slipping backwards and into Norris.
The Brit had finished his media duties for the day and was heading back out to show fans his trophy – a particularly unique one made of Lego.
Fans had flooded the main straight for the podium celebrations, and many stuck around long after to get up close with their hero.
Norris – not just a rising star in F1 but also part of the elite – was celebrating his eighth win, closing the championship gap to teammate Piastri to just eight points.
