After his São Paulo win, Norris said his bottle broke before he could spray a team member first, leaving the colleague with their informal contest win.

After winning the São Paulo Grand Prix, Lando Norris said he had not meant to break his champagne bottle: he had been trying to spray a team member in their informal post-win contest. The pair try to spray each other first after a victory, he told Viaplay; this time, the bottle broke before he could take part, leaving the colleague with their mini-championship.

Norris said he had kept the top of the bottle and plans to hold on to it for the rest of his life.
