Watch: McLaren’s Heartfelt Gesture to Daniel Ricciardo Amidst Roaring Celebration of Lando Norris’ Imola GP Triumph

McLaren proudly sang, “Lando, you’re the one. You still turn me on. You just got a podium!” after Lando Norris finished P3 at the Imola GP. He kept his nose out of any crashes, had a rather lonely race, but ticked off this podium.
