Norris soaked by McLaren F1 boss in Austrian GP slip-up

McLaren F1 star Lando Norris suffered a soaking at the hands of team principal Andrea Stella after a hilarious interaction at the Austrian Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old found himself in the unfamiliar position of being seated among McLaren’s finest strategists and technological minds on the pit wall on Friday as his MCL39 was loaned to McLaren junior Alex Dunne.

The 19-year-old currently leads the F2 championship and, upon taking to the track in Spielberg for FP1, became the first Irishman to appear at an F1 race weekend in 22 years.

He certainly impressed the pit wall after finishing P4 just behind Norris’ team-mate Oscar Piastri, although Stella and Norris appeared more focused on a trackside slip-up at times during the weekend’s first practice session.

The British racer and his F1 boss could be seen giggling as FP1 went on after papaya principal Stella managed to spill his water all over Norris’ pit wall seat, sending the bottle flying.

The moment was picked up on Sky F1’s broadcast, where reporter Ted Kravitz noted: “Oh no, Andrea Stella’s just dropped his water bottle. Is Lando going to help him with it?

“He’s poured it on the floor, and he’s dropped it, Lando is helping him.”

The broadcast team quickly noticed the wide smile plastered across Norris’ face, however, realising: “Oh he’s got the water all over Lando’s seat, oh we don’t want a wet bum after everything else Lando’s had to deal with this weekend.”

As Norris allowed his McLaren boss to mop up the mess with an appropriately papaya coloured cloth, the duo were in fits of laughter, with Kravitz adding: “Oh that’s a nice little scene.”

Norris bouncing back at Austrian GP

It was at least a positive sign to see Norris in good spirits on Friday ahead of his return to the track in Austria after a grand prix to forget last time out.

The British star finally let his competitive nature and hunt for his maiden championship get the better of him, ramming into the back of team-mate Piastri in the closing stages of the Canadian GP.

After going for a blindly optimistic lunge down the inside in Montreal to a space that quite simply wasn’t there, Norris refused to let his downtrodden attitude take over, claiming responsibility for the incident and no doubt hoping to move on quickly.

With just 22 points separating him and championship leader Piastri, Norris will be looking for a serious points haul in Sunday’s race in Austria to make up for the DNF last time out.

Red Bull F1 star given black and white flag for ‘driving erratically’ at British GP

Published

red-bull-f1-star-given-black-and-white-flag-for-‘driving-erratically’-at-british-gp

Red Bull F1 junior star Liam Lawson was noted by FIA race stewards for an unusual incident during FP3 at Silverstone.

The iconic circuit is once again playing host to the British Grand Prix in F1’s 75th anniversary year, and for the first time in history F2, F3 and British F4 are also all taking part as part of the weekend schedule.

F1 HEADLINES: Max Verstappen makes EXIT decision as Russell contract verdict issued

Lawson has reinvigorated his F1 career with Racing Bulls in recent weeks, after being axed from the main Red Bull team after just two races in 2025.

However, the young New Zealander was noted by race stewards for ‘driving erratically’ during the third and final practice session at the British GP, in an unusual scenario.

Lawson tangled with Pierre Gasly, and appeared to hold the Alpine driver up, before the pair drove alongside one another and Lawson bemoaned the former Red Bull driver’s actions over team radio.

However, it was Lawson that caught the stewards’ attention, and he had a black-and-white flag waved in his direction.

A black-and-white flag is a warning about driving that the stewards believe to be unacceptable, and one more of those would mean a trip to the stewards’ room after the session, and potentially a penalty.

As it happened, Lawson kept it clean during the remainder of the session, and will not face any further punishment.

Lawson leaves Red Bull red-faced

Since Lawson was axed after the Chinese GP, he has gone on to score 12 points with Red Bull’s sister team.

His replacement Yuki Tsunoda, however, has only picked up seven points in nine race weekends, and remains below both Lawson and Isack Hadjar in the drivers’ championship.

The RB21 is clearly not an easy car to drive, but Max Verstappen is currently sat on 155 points up in third having raced in the same car.

With Verstappen’s future for 2026 up in the air, Red Bull will be carefully watching the performances of the likes of Tsunoda, Lawson and Hadjar.

The F1 circus heads to the jewel in the UK’s motorsport crown this weekend as Silverstone hosts the 2025 British Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton has solidified his reputation as king of the legendary circuit following his fairytale win at last year’s event with Mercedes, but Sunday’s race marks his debut in front of the home crowd in Ferrari red.

F1 HEADLINES: Verstappen exit clause ‘active’ as Red Bull make official driver announcement for British GP

Now a record-breaking nine-time race winner at Silverstone alone, Hamilton will be hoping to get the better of not only his team-mate Charles Leclerc, but also his rival home heroes.

The 40-year-old is one of five Brits in the field this weekend, joined by Lando Norris, George Russell, Ollie Bearman and British-Thai driver Alex Albon who considers Silverstone to be ‘his second home race’.

British star Norris could have the upper hand for the 12th round of the championship thanks to the support of the home fans as he looks to close the gap even further to fellow McLaren star Oscar Piastri.

The Aussie continues to lead the drivers’ standings despite Norris’ victory in Austria last weekend, with just 15 points separating the driver duo heading into McLaren’s home grand prix.
