A picture of Lando Norris has recently surfaced on the internet which sees his face bloodied up and bandaged. According to reports, the British driver was in Amsterdam partaking in the King’s Day celebrations ahead of the Miami GP when the incident occurred. Thankfully though, the injuries sustained by Norris are nothing too serious.
Following the Chinese GP, F1 drivers had a week off before having to jump continents for the race in Miami. While most drivers opted to rest in such a situation, Norris saw it fit to party in the Netherlands.
However, the party ended in disaster for Norris, who ended up sustaining an injury to his nose. Multiple sources reveal that he cut his nose on some broken glass.

A picture of a bandaged-up Norris started making rounds on social media and DJ Martin Garrix was present in one of the videos where Norris was seen partying on a boat, which is where he presumably injured himself.
