Daniel Ricciardo was a part of McLaren for two seasons, 2021 and 2022. This was when he claimed a victory for the British team and their only win in 2021. As they won the race, the McLaren drivers, Ricciardo, Norris, and CEO Zak Brown tried the famous celebration by the man from Land Down Under.

And on Sunday, they repeated it after Norris took the Checkered Flag, ahead of his teammate, Piastri. Nico Hulkenberg of Sauber claimed P3, which was his first-ever podium in F1.
