McLaren star Lando Norris was involved in another podium blunder at the Brazilian Grand Prix after taking an impressive victory in damp Sao Paulo conditions.

Norris proved the class of the field in a wet qualifying on Saturday afternoon to put his car on pole for Sunday's race, but he didn't have it all his own way in Brazil, losing the lead to Kimi Antonelli at the start as well as second place to Liam Lawson.

Eventually, Norris got past the Kiwi, and when he switched to the dry tyres, began to close the gap on Antonelli, who then gave up the lead after spinning his Mercedes into turn one.

The only time he would relinquish the lead from there on out was when he pitted for fresh tyres later in the race as the likes of Isack Hadjar and Kimi Antonelli unsuccessfully tried to make a one-stop work. Max Verstappen also looked a challenger for the win at one stage, but Norris had superior pace in the dry-to-wet conditions and ended up finishing over 14 seconds ahead of the Red Bull man come the chequered flag.

Lando Norris podium celebrations go wrong...again

It was Norris' third victory of the season and the first time that he had stood on the top step since the Dutch Grand Prix back in the summer.

And, as always, the 26-year-old British star celebrated the victory with his trademark champagne celebration - smashing the bottle onto the floor to produce a massive spray - but this time, it went wrong.

Rather than forcing the cork out, this time the impact saw the bottle smash into pieces, with Norris left stunned at what he had just done.

In the same motion, he stepped backwards from the glass and ended up walking right into the firing line of one of the spark machines on the podium. Thankfully he appeared unhurt with his cap taking the brunt of it, but it could have been worse.

Of course, Brazil is not the only time Norris has smashed something up on the podium. At the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix, he accidentally smashed Max Verstappen's race-winning prize, which was a hand-painted, handmade Herend porcelain trophy worth around $45,000.

Fear not, though, the trophy was later repaired and sent back to Verstappen, with himself and Norris posing for a selfie together with it on social media.

Lando Norris: Not making mistakes key to Brazil victory

Before his podium antics, Norris analysed his race in Sao Paulo and claimed that his lack of mistakes in the wet conditions were key to Sunday's victory.

"It was a very tough race, very very tough," he explained.

"I didn't have the best of launches off the line. A lot of challenges today with the conditions and going onto slicks in the wet is always tough, especially when you are pushing for the lead and trying to catch up a little bit.

"The main thing today was I kept it cool and didn't make any mistakes and had the pace when I needed to. Nice to be back on the top step and what a place to do it as well."
