Jeremy Clarkson sends special message to Lando Norris after historic F1 win

Jeremy Clarkson has sent a special message to Lando Norris after his shock Formula 1 win this weekend.

The star of Oxfordshire-set Clarkson’s Farm took to social media to congratulate the driver on his Miami Grand Prix victory on Monday.

Norris grabbed his first ever F1 win in his 110th attempt with Max Verstappen often claiming victories in the past.

Despite the Dutchman often winning GPs across the world, the British 24-year-old claimed the shock win in stateside thanks to a well-worked strategy.

Norris took the lead after making a pit stop while a safety car was deployed at about half distance while the others had already stopped.

Verstappen was then unable to catch up with Norris when the race restarted with 27 laps to go and the Bristol-born driver raced ahead.

The Red Bull world champion finished second just ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc while the honours went to Norris for the first time.

Clarkson is clearly a fan of Norris after the driver had previously been seen wearing a bucket hat with the former Top Gear host’s Diddly Squat Farm on at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix back in March.

Posting the photograph of the F1 star wearing the bucket hat on Instagram, Clarkson said: “Top work Lando. Well done.”

The third season of Clarkson’s Farm dropped on Friday with four episodes released and a further four to be released later this week.
