McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said shortly afterwards that Lando Norris was unhurt after the São Paulo Grand Prix winner was struck by fireworks during the podium celebrations.
Norris's champagne bottle shattered as he tried his signature move of opening it by hitting it against the ground. He held the broken top up to the crowd, then stepped backwards into sparks from fireworks at the front of the platform. He initially held his head, but showed no ill effects in post-race interviews.
