Lando Norris’ mum’s adorable message in emotional moment after British GP win

Lando Norris has won the British Grand Prix, finishing ahead of Oscar Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg, and the McLaren driver shared an emotional embrace with his mum after the race

Lando Norris shared an emotional moment with his mum after winning the British Grand Prix for the first time. The 25-year-old was delighted with his first F1 victory on home soil and embraced his mum, Cisca, after exiting his car as she told him: “I love you so much, enjoy it.”

Norris finished ahead of his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, while Nico Hulkenberg finished third and earned a podium finish for the first time in his 239th attempt. Reflecting on his victory, Norris said: “It is beautiful.

“Apart from a Championship, this is as good as it gets in terms of feelings. Incredible race, stressful as always but the support from the fans made the difference, so I have to thank them.

“The main thing is don’t f*** it up, that is rule number one. It might never happen again, hope it does, but these are memories I’ll have forever.

“As far as being a stressful race, it’s as stressful as it gets. A round of applause for Oscar as he put in a good race, he was fast. Credit to him and of course McLaren, to win at home is pretty amazing.”

Hulkenberg was also delighted with his third place finish, stating: “It’s been a long time coming hasn’t it?! What a race, coming from virtually last, doing it all again like last weekend.

“Crazy conditions, survival mode all race. We were really on it, no mistakes. Today, I was in denial until the last pit stop and then I heard we gapped Lewis so I thought okay, breathing space but then he was closing.

“The pressure was there, intense race but we didn’t crack. I was thinking he was going to give it all in front of his home crowd but sorry guys, it is also my day!”

Piastri, meanwhile, was not happy after he was handed a 10-second time penalty for a safety car infringement. “I’m not going to say much, I’ll get myself in trouble,” Piastri said after the race.

“Congrats to Nico, that’s the story. Apparently you can’t brake behind the Safety Car anymore, I had done it for five laps before but I’m not going to say more, I’m going to get myself in trouble. I still like Silverstone even if I don’t like it today.”
