Leo Leclerc was the real winner of the Miami Grand Prix

Lando Norris stormed to the front at last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, beating Max Verstappen to the checkered flag for the first win of his Formula 1 career. That victory earned the driver praise from around the paddock, and touched off an epic celebration in the paddock at McLaren, one that even rival Team Principal Frederic Vasseur joined in on.
