Norris risks FIA’s wrath with F-bomb
Lando Norris joked about FIA fines not affecting him much as an F1 champion after dropping an F-bomb in front of president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Norris received his championship trophy at the FIA prize giving gala in Uzbekistan, sealing his first title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The event honored champions like F2’s Leonardo Fornaroli, F3’s Rafael Camara, and Max Verstappen’s ‘Action of the Year’. Norris caused laughter by swearing while picking up his trophy, prompting Ben Sulayem to jest about a fine. Despite the slip, given the light-hearted response, Norris may not face consequences, as the FIA has been strict on swearing in non-racing contexts in recent years. Ben Sulayem’s recent re-election and desire to maintain good relations with drivers also suggest leniency in this case.
