In the 2021 Russian Grand Prix he slid off in the wet on the final few laps while leading. And he squandered the chance of victory in Qatar last year.

Miami was his 110th race and he struck a little fortunate in the sunshine state as he was able to pit while a safety car was deployed, meaning he was able to hold onto his lead.

Norris, 24, was still tasked with fending off the dangerous Max Verstappen, who was struggling with his car having hit a bollard earlier in the race.

But Norris’ victory was well deserved and will be a popular one, with the McLaren star one of the most well-liked drivers in the sport.
