Lando Norris criticised for Madrid cool-down room action

Lando Norris sparked controversy after bringing a can of Coca-Cola into the cool-down room following the Spanish Grand Prix, where he finished third. A staff member confronted Norris about the can, to which he responded defiantly, stating he was entitled to drink what he wished after completing a race. Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner publicly criticised Norris's behaviour on The Red Flags podcast, calling it unprofessional, with the incident believed to be sensitive due to Pepsi holding an existing sponsorship deal with Formula 1.
