The British driver’s weekend started in peculiar circumstances when he took to the track with a spanner and torch inside his car.

Norris was able to return to the pits, but the FIA immediately launched an investigation over McLaren allegedly “releasing a car in an unsafe condition”. The team were found guilty of the offence and were handed a warning.

Formula One drivers are always asking teams to give them the tools for success but champions McLaren went a step too far when they left some in Lando Norris's car at the Miami Grand Prix on Friday.
