sport news History-making Brit driver Lando Norris, 24, nails his first F1 win after ... trends now
He has quickly become the poster boy for F1 and now Lando Norris has reached new heights bagging his first Grand Prix win in Miami pushing reigning world champion Max Verstappen off the podium.
The Bristol-born 24-year-old stormed ahead of the Red Bull star in the final moments of the race on Sunday securing a narrow win for the McLaren team.
Norris has perhaps always been destined for F1 greatness after becoming the youngster-ever British driver when he made his debut at 19-years-old in the Australian Grand Prix.
Yet if it had not been for his love of horse riding as a child, the young star may never have made his way to motorsports.
'I started on horse riding, so I started on four legs,' he recalled previously. 'But then I moved to quad biking. I was a big fan. Then I really got into motorcross.'
Now he is one of the most successful F1 drivers both on and off the racetrack.
Not only does he have a four-year contract estimated to be worth a whopping £80 million, the racing pro has a series of luxury brand deals and has starred in a number of glam photoshoots.
Clutching onto a series of supercars, designer watches and a stunning £20million mansion in Surrey. As well as career success, his personal life has also been blossoming.

Over the past year, he has ben regularly spotted alongside the ex-girlfriend of Barcelona footballer Joao Felix, Portuguese model and actress Margarida Corceiro, only add to speculation and discussion about his romantic life.
The pair were recently spotted at the Monte-Carlo Masters final amid her split from Felix last year. Norris and Corceiro were first spotted together last May in a video on social media showing the 24-year-old driving his Fiat Jolly with her in the back of the classic car.
Norris had previously been dating Luisinha Oliveira, with the McLaren driver beginning a relationship with the Portuguese model at the start of 2022.
The relationship ended in September that year, with Norris confirming the split on social media.
Like many of the F1 elite, Norris grew up in an affluent family, living in the rural town of Glastonbury, Somerset.
He is the second son of multi-millionaire businessman Adam Norris - who has amassed a £205 million fortune - and his mother Cisca, from Belgium.
Norris is one of four children - having an elder brother called Oli, and two younger sisters Flo and Cisca.
He attended school in Somerset but ultimately left without any GCSEs in pursuit of a career in support, later studying physics and maths with the help of a personal tutor.
Norris became the youngest go-karting world champion at just age 14 - a title previously held by Lewis Hamilton.
It was during his time on the go-karting scene that he was talent-spotted by McLaren who were impressed by the record breaking youngster.
Norris became the youngest-ever British Formula One driver when he made his debut in the competition in 2019 at just 19-years-old at the Australian GP after coming through the ranks of the garage as an FP2 star.
Team principal Zak Brown once called an even-more youthful Norris to his office in 2019 to tell him the news that he was being given a contract and full-time seat in Formula One, telling him at the time: 'Welcome to Formula One.'
