Lando Norris left with bloody nose after man falls off pit wall and lands on McLaren driver at British Grand Prix

Lando Norris’ nose was split open during post-race celebrations at Silverstone on Sunday (6 July).

The McLaren driver, who achieved his first Grand Prix victory over the weekend, was at the pit wall ready to celebrate when the freak accident happened.

Footage shared by Sky Sports shows a photographer falling off the pit wall and colliding with Norris as the fence collapsed, sending the racer tumbling into two a crowd of people.

The 25-year-old can be seen holding his face in pain whilst clutching his new Royal Automobile Club Trophy, which appears to have caused the cut.

Norris needed Steri-Strips to treat the wound but was later seen smiling to fans onstage as he showed off his injury.
