Lando Norris, the McLaren F1 driver, against all odds has managed to secure his maiden F1 win at the 2024 Miami GP. Red Bulls’ Max Verstappen was tipped as the early favorite to come out victorious but certain incidents during the race played out in Norris’s favor.

Lando Norris has been competing at the pinnacle of motor racing since 2019 but has yet to score a Grand Prix win. However, with his most recent F1 outing in Miami, he has changed this and has finally got a win under his belt.

While the Brit and the whole McLaren outfit are ecstatic with the win, the whole tide of the race turned when Haas’s Kevin Magnussen collided with Williams Logan Sargeant. It ultimately led to a safety car and allowed Norris to make a vital pitstop.
