Lando Norris shared a funny moment with the crowd at Silverstone after his British Grand Prix victory. The Briton jokingly flashed the middle finger when a fan yelled "Lewis" while the McLaren driver was on the fan stage after the race.
Norris claimed his first home victory in F1 when he finished first at the British GP. He described the achievement as his biggest childhood dream.
After the race, Norris, joined by McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, went to the Silverstone fan stage to interact with the crowd. Norris even celebrated his win with a Daniel Ricciardo-esque "shoey" celebration.
While on stage posing for a photo with the crowd in the background and holding an 'LN' flag, Norris was interrupted by a fan shouting, "Lewis." In response, he turned around, flashed his middle finger playfully, and chuckled. Another fan in the crowd captured the whole interaction.

While speaking on stage, Lando Norris explained that celebrating a race with the fans at Silverstone was one of his long-standing dreams. He remembered seeing Lewis Hamilton doing the same on many occasions and was inspired by it.
As previously mentioned, his teammate also joined Norris on the fan stage. But Oscar Piastri was less happy. He lost out on the race win at the British GP because of a 10-second penalty he received for a safety car infringement.
The 24-year-old was not happy about this penalty and chose not to share the full extent of his feelings in the media after the race. He received the penalty after slamming on the brakes right before the safety car restart on lap 21. The Stewards deemed his actions to be dangerous, as he applied nearly 60 psi of brake pressure, going from 218 km/h to 52 km/h.
