Lando Norris suffers facial injury as things turn ugly following British Grand Prix celebrations with fans

Lando Norris was the winner of the Formula One British Grand Prix on home soil but suffered a freak injury afterwards.

Lando Norris appeared to suffer an injury caused by a photographer after winning the Formula One British Grand Prix for the first time on Sunday.

Norris pipped McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, hit with a 10-second penalty for misjudging a situation involving the safety car, to take the win at Silverstone for the first time in his career and close the gap at the top of the driver standings.

The 25-year-old was full of euphoria as he celebrated with his team and family but spirits were damaged later on after a shock incident.

Norris appeared to be going over to greet the fans who had cheered him on loudly to help record a historic F1 victory when a photographer who had scaled the fence fell onto him.

In footage which emerged online, the photographer, wearing a red cap, inadvertently struck the Brit.

Norris was seen in immediate discomfort as he held his face and was escorted away by his team in an unfortunate end to what was one of the best days of his life and career.

The incident meant Norris did not get to hoist the trophy aloft and celebrate with the fans, who were denied the special moment.

The extent of his injury has not yet been revealed.

Lando Norris forced to apologise after historic F1 win

As he crossed the finish line, Norris was involved in an emotional radio exchange with members of his team, as he called it a "dream" and "beautiful" to win on home soil.

His adrenaline remained high and he dropped an f-bomb in an interview with 2009 F1 champion Jenson Button, with both apologising for the colourful language.

"It’s beautiful. Everything I dreamed of, everything I wanted to achieve. Apart from the championship, this is as good as it gets. Incredible race, stressful as always," Norris said on Sky Sports.

"Your mind just goes pretty blank, everything you might think before the race you forget. The main thing is just don’t f**k it up. The last few laps I was just looking into the crowd. It might not happen again. Incredible achievement."

Norris' victory wasn't the only significant achievement at Silverstone as Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg secured his first-ever podium at the 239th time of asking and 15 years after his F1 debut.

He pipped Lewis Hamilton to third in wet conditions and was full of emotion as he spoke to his team on the radio, before later forgetting to bring his crash helmet to the cooldown room.

Reigning champion Max Verstappen just about managed to recover from a nightmare race to finish fifth.
