Image credit: F1/X Lando Norris won the British Grand Prix on Sunday — his first home win. The McLaren driver celebrated the victory by performing the famous 'Shoey' tradition, popular among F1 winners at Silverstone Circuit. As part of the celebrations on stage, Norris drank champagne from his shoe — a ritual also performed by his teammate Oscar Piastri, who finished second, and McLaren CEO Zak Brown. Lando Norris performs Shoey after winning British Grand Prix Formula 1's official X handle shared a video from Lando Norris' Shoey celebration. As he stood on the podium with Oscar Piastri and Zak Brown, fans could be heard asking for the Shoey ritual to be fulfilled at Silverstone. As Norris prepared to drink the champagne in his shoe, Piastri wished him luck, saying, 'Cheers.' Norris then took a big sip from the shoe and reacted, 'That's disgusting.' Piastri and Brown also took a sip from the same shoe, after which Piastri flung the shoe into the crowd. However, many F1 fans couldn't bear the tradition. One fan reacted, 'Gross. I never understood this tradition.' Another said, 'This is too low! Very disgusting, and not something you should be proud of doing!' A third commented in disgust, 'This is tradition?'

Tocsin Media & Marketing LLC Undo F1 fans slam Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri for ignoring Nico Hulkenberg Many also slammed Norris and Piastri for ignoring the third podium finisher, Nico Hulkenberg. The Kick Sauber driver secured his first-ever podium, but was seemingly overlooked by Norris and Piastri as they celebrated the moment with champagne on the podium. A video showing them not joining Hulkenberg as he sprayed champagne went viral. 'Nobody cares about these two snobs who couldn't even celebrate Nico,' read one such comment. Oscar Piastri was upset over 10-second penalty While Lando Norris was happy, Oscar Piastri was visibly upset after receiving a 10-second penalty for a Safety Car infringement during the race. Without the penalty, Piastri likely would have won. When asked about the race, Piastri said, 'I really can't be bothered [to explain], there is no point – I can't change it. I did what I did at the first restart, and apparently one needed a penalty and one didn't. Anyway, the team did a great job, had a great car and a good haul of points for the team. I don't really understand, I need to look back and see, but I really don't feel I did anything different or anything wrong.'

Aussie man's peaceful beach outing in India takes a hilarious turn thanks to unexpected guest. Video
In a moment that perfectly encapsulates the delightful unpredictability of everyday life in India, a video shared by an Australian man residing in the country has captured the internet's attention. The clip, posted on Instagram by content creator Andy Evans — better known as 'Aussie Bhai' — shows what began as a peaceful beach outing swiftly transforming into an amusing spectacle, courtesy of an unexpected beachgoer: a cow. (Also read: Australian man calls Bengaluru slang 'pointless', internet claps back with cultural origins) The video opens with the man reclining on the sand, soaking up the sun with a plate of fried rice in hand. All seems idyllic — until a cow casually wanders over, taking a keen interest in both the man and his food. Within moments, a few more cows join in, strolling leisurely across the sand, completely undisturbed by the sight of sunbathers or the sounds of crashing waves. What left viewers especially entertained was the behaviour of the first cow. As the man instinctively pulls his plate closer and gently warns the curious animal to back off, the cow pauses and surprisingly 'listens' — showing what many have jokingly dubbed 'respectful restraint.' Watch the clip here: A post shared by Aussie Bhai | Andy Evans (@theaussiebhai) Since being posted by @aussie_bhai, the video has garnered nearly 3 million views and counting. Though the exact location and date remain unconfirmed, that hasn't stopped the internet from diving into the comment section with enthusiasm and laughter.

Another said, 'The cow was actually polite — that's rare.' A third chimed in, 'India has its own set of rules, and this just proves it again.' Another viewer laughed, 'Imagine going for fried rice and ending up in a staring contest with a cow.' One more added, 'The cow understood boundaries better than most people.' Yet another quipped, 'That cow knew it was on camera — real celebrity behaviour.' One summed it up best: 'In India, you don't just live life — life lives through you.'

Australian MP pours beer into his sneakers, drinks it. All about the drinking tradition Shoey
A video of an Australian MP's parliamentary exit has taken over social media, with many wondering about his style of saying goodbye. The MP, Kyle McGinn, ended his final day in parliament by removing one of the sneakers he was wearing, pouring beer into it, and then drinking the beverage out of the shoe. What seemed bizarre to many is a drinking tradition among Australians called 'Shoey.' According to a 2019 report by the New York Times, it is a tradition where alcohol, usually beer, is poured into a shoe someone is wearing. After finishing the drink, the wet shoe is given back to the person to wear. Though the origins of the Shoey are murky, several famous people have done it. The list includes Australian Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo, film stars Sir Patrick Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Hugh Grant, and Gerard Butler. Several musicians have also done Shoey, including Machine Gun Kelly and Stormzy. 'I thought so long and hard about how to finish this speech, and my constituents in the Goldfields, I think, will be particularly appreciative – there's only one way to do it,' McGinn said, reported the Sydney Morning Herald. 'I'm used to getting told off, so we might as well get this over and done with, but I would like to say to the members and the constituents across WA, thank you for two fantastic terms. Cheers,' he continued before chugging his drink. The gesture reportedly amused some members, while others remained unimpressed. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Legislative Council President Alanna Clohesy ordered McGinn to take his palace after he pulled off the stunt. 'The honourable member is very well aware that he ran a very fine line in offending the dignity of council, so I'm assuming his speech has concluded,' she said.
