Donald Trump has moved to claim more credit for Lando Norris's victory at the Miami Grand Prix - claiming he 'endorsed' the McLaren driver and his car.
The former president was the center of attention at the track before the race started, meeting with McLaren CEO Zak Brown and inspecting the team's cars in their garage.
Norris then went out on the track and claimed the first race win of his fledgling Formula One career, beating Red Bull's Max Verstappen to first place in Florida.
But Trump took to Truth Social afterwards and made it clear that he wanted some credit for Norris and McLaren's success.
He wrote: 'It was a great honor to see my friends at McLaren win the big Miami Formula 1 race.
