F1 News
It may have taken him 110 races and 15 podiums but Lando Norris secured his maiden win at the Miami Grand Prix. Despite being consistently mocked online by trolls, and branded as 'Lando No Wins', the McLaren driver has hit back at fans with his new, winning merchandise.
Following his win, Norris has released three exclusive pieces of merchandise: a hoodie and two t-shirts. The We Did It collection features three different designs, with the t-shirts both featuring an image of the driver with his trophy either on the front or back. On the hoodie and the white t-shirt, a hand written message has been added as a dig towards his haters. Instead of reading 'Lando No Wins', the 'no' has been crossed out to signify the race win.

What does 'Lando No Wins' mean?
Norris has held the record for the most podiums without a race win, securing 15 podiums across 110 races. He also held the record for most second place finishes (8), without a win. As a result, his critics have mocked him for his failure to achieve a race win. This led to the phrase 'Lando No Wins' being developed.
Following his win on Sunday in Miami, Norris took a further dig to the online trolls during the press conference: "I go on Instagram and I like all the comments of people abusing me. I freaking love it. Makes me smile more than anything. Especially ‘Lando Nowins’. Like that's become the thing. And yes, for me to finally prove those people wrong and prove the people that didn't think I could go out and do it. It's been even bigger smile on my face today. So I thank all of them."
