LANDO NORRIS was the top Trump in the Miami Grand Prix after winning his first F1 GP.

The brilliant Brit capitalised on a rare off day for the reigning world champion Max Verstappen to win this thriller at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Before the race it was former US President Donald Trump who was basking in the applause at the Sunshine State.

But Norris stole his thunder with a fantastic drive – and a fortuitous Safety Car – for his maiden F1 win in 110 starts.

The 24-year-old from Glastonbury has finished second eight times before and had come agonisingly close to breaking his duck.

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