Not only Daniel Ricciardo, it would’ve been hard for any F1 driver to live up to the Car-Lando romance between Sainz and Norris. However, fans were hopeful when Ricciardo signed for McLaren, as his jovial nature was sure to compliment Norris’ cheeky humor. But that was not the case, as multiple reports suggested friction between the duo. Regardless, Ricciardo has come out to congratulate Lando Norris after the Miami GP heroics and has offered a mysterious update on Norris’ condition after the celebrations with Max Verstappen.

Lando Norris won the Miami GP when he was least expected to. The Briton fell to P6 after starting P5 but risked it and stayed out longer than any of the top runners. And it all paid off as Logan Sargeant’s crash called for a safety car, and Norris pitted under it and saved a lot of time, coming out in front of Max Verstappen. The Dutchman was expected to overtake Norris, but the Brit won on pure pace. 

Norris had his flights booked for the same night, but after his win, Lewis Hamilton persuaded him to stay the night, reschedule his flight, and celebrate his first win in Miami. And Lando Norris promised to make his night worthy as he said, “I’m not going to sleep! Might have more than just a scratch on my nose tomorrow. I don’t care. I’ll enjoy my time. This only happens once when you take your first win”.

Earlier today, videos of Lando Norris partying with Max Verstappen surfaced on the internet, as they partied wildly at E11EVEN, where Afrojack was on the DJ set. And now, Daniel Ricciardo has come out to celebrate his former teammate’s maiden win in F1, despite not being on the best terms during their time together at McLaren. 

Daniel Ricciardo uploaded a post on his Instagram with pictures from the Miami GP weekend, suggesting Miami wasn’t a perfect weekend but was great. The last pictures of the uploaded bunch had a smiling picture of Lando Norris, as the Aussie also mentioned how delighted he was for Norris. However, in the caption, he did mention that he’s not sure about Norris’ whereabouts after his wild party in Miami. The caption read, “Not sure if he is alive today but very happy for @landonorris on his first win”.

This probably came because of Norris’ comments mentioned earlier, where he talks about not caring and just having fun and enjoying his first win, even if that meant getting another injury to his nose. But what about the crazy party that Norris had? Do we have the details on the same? Yes, we do.

The Details of Lando Norris’ Wild Night Out with Max Verstappen 

While it was Lewis Hamilton who convinced Lando Norris to change flights and celebrate in Miami, it was Max Verstappen, who the Brit celebrated his first win with. For the third year in a row, Club E11EVEN celebrated the Miami GP, and this year, it was bigger than ever. Lando Norris was spotted partying with Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly Piquet. Even Oscar Piastri was at the club and so was Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

However, the celebrity lineup that Norris partied with isn’t the craziest part. It’s the Winner’s Circle package that blew our mind. The Club’s operating partner Gino LoPinto explained, “The Winner’s Circle package. It’s $111,000, but it’s the baller of all ballers. The package includes exclusive VIP access to E11EVEN, a dinner for 11 of your closest friends at Giselle’s, and more.”
