But as he carried the RAC trophy around the paddock, he suffered a face injury as a photographer fell back into him when a fence collapsed. Footage shared by Sky Sports F1 showed the Brit walking up to the wall as he held the trophy for his win. As he approached the fence separating him from a crowd of fans, one of the McLaren team members climbed the fence next to a photographer. However, the fence then collapsed under the weight of them and saw the photographer fly back into the F1 star as his section on the right side of it came away. With cameras pointed at him from every angle behind him, Norris appeared to headbutt one of the camera lenses as he was surprised by the falling photographer on the fence. He was then seen holding his face in his hands as the photographer apologised for the accidental collision. Footage from Dazn showed the driver being escorted back to his garage in the pit lane as he held his hands over his face. The extent of his injuries are not currently clear. SunSport has contacted McLaren F1 for comment. Norris had been reduced to tears after winning his home race ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri and Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg - who landed his first ever podium in 239 F1 races. He was overcome with emotion and forgot to check his language live on Sky Sports as he conducted his post-race interview. Jenson Button was forced to apologise on the driver's behalf after he swore when saying his thoughts in the final laps were to "not f*** it up". THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
