Lando Norris was officially crowned as a Formula 1 world champion at the FIA Prize Giving Gala in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but while fans celebrated the driver lifting his trophy for the first time, they were quick to comment on the exchanges between the McLaren driver and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
Just days after sealing the title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Norris appeared on stage alongside his team-mate Oscar Piastri, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, and team principal Andrea Stella. Visibly nervous, the driver walked onto the stage with a smile spread from ear to ear as Ben Sulayem greeted him.
