McLaren driver Lando Norris won the Brazilian Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday. It was a tough, rain-impacted race that saw Norris lose the lead at the green, but recover to win.

It was on the podium following his victory in Sao Paulo that things went off the rails. Instead of shaking the champagne bottle and then spraying it, Lando traditionally bonks the bottle on the ground which creates a huge amount of spray for the celebration.

By jumping off the podium and using all his weight to force the bottle into the ground made the bottle shatter on impact, sending glass flying all over the podium. Lando had a shocked look on his face as he looked top of the bottle left in his hand. Then he walked face-first into the sparklers on the podium.

Good thing, Lando Norris didn’t slice his hand open or burn his face, but he can clearly be seen holding his ear to protect himself from fireworks and champagne spray. Maybe next time, just drink the champagne, bro.
