“Lewis Tried to Do the Same Thing and Absolutely Failed”: Hamilton’s Miserable Attempt at Copying Lando Norris’ Podium Shenanigans Make Him an Instant Internet Meme

The British GP never disappoints but the 2023 edition was as iconic as it gets. Silverstone witnessed a record-breaking 480,000 attendance over the race weekend. The fans who attended the race., witnessed the incredible start from Lando Norris as the homeboy took the lead, speaking a big roar. However, it wasn’t until the podium that we saw a moment that is being talked about all across social media. The fans who stayed back for the podium celebration saw two Brits on it for the first time since 1999. They also saw Lewis Hamilton extend his record to 14 podiums on one track. However, the fans with a keen eye, noticed Hamilton’s attempt to copy Norris and make an meme out of himself.

For the first time since 2022 Emilia Romagna GP, we saw the iconic champagne pop from the McLaren man. Norris’s peculiar champagne-popping style is unique and no one else on the grid does anything similar. However, the hard slap at the bottom forcing the fizz is exciting to see, even for Hamilton.

After entrusting him to safeguard the nation’s future in the sport, the Brit wanted to emulate his young countryman. However, it was easier said than done for Hamilton, as the Mercedes man’s attempt was comical.

Hamilton gently tapped his open champagne bottle on the podium, hoping for the same effect. However, the attempt was an absolute failure as the Brit’s half-hearted and possibly scared effort did not make a squeak.

There is a reason only Norris does the champagne pop the way he does, because it’s not easy as it seems. We assume most be scared to break the bottle and possibly harm themselves or others. Or at least that is what we saw in Hamilton’s squeamish attempt.

Unfortunately for Hamilton, so did some fans and they can’t help mentioning it. One fan tweeted, “Lewis tried to do the same thing and absolutely failed I’m wheezing he’s so cute.”
