Way to go Lando!

After 110 Grands Prix, Lando Norris, McLaren’s leading contender, finally clinched his first Formula 1 victory at the Miami GP, holding off Max Verstappen. This win not only marked a personal milestone for the Briton but also ended McLaren’s nearly three-year drought since their last victory at Monza in 2021 with Daniel Ricciardo.

For Lando, this triumph was a moment of redemption following a missed opportunity at the 2021 Russian GP. This time, he executed flawlessly, resisting pressure from Max after a safety car period. Starting from fifth on the grid, Norris seized the lead after not pitting during the yellow flag on lap 28, capitalizing on both strategy and Max’s car troubles. Social media erupted with congratulations, including from Palmeiras, Lando’s supported team in Brazil, who hailed his achievement as “unforgettable.” Who will win a World Championship first, Palmeiras or Lando?
