Lando Norris burns face on sparklers as celebrations turn dangerous

Lando Norris suffered a minor scare after walking backwards into pyrotechnic sparklers during podium celebrations at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday. After smashing his champagne bottle on the ground, the McLaren driver lost his bearings and turned his head directly into the sparks, clutching his face and ear in pain before walking away largely unscathed.

Norris had claimed his third win of the season in Brazil after beating Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar from pole position. Despite losing the initial lead during tricky mixed conditions, Norris recovered to take the top step, while George Russell finished fourth and newly crowned champion Kimi Antonelli placed fifth to secure the Constructors' Championship for Mercedes.
