Is FIA action needed after Lando Norris bottle smashing injury escape?

Lando Norris escaped injury after smashing a champagne bottle on the podium and then walking face-first into an active pyrotechnic machine during the São Paulo Grand Prix celebrations at Interlagos.

The McLaren driver, who took victory in São Paulo, was left holding only the neck of the bottle after slamming it down in his usual celebratory style, shattering the glass. 

Champagne sprayed into his eyes moments later, temporarily blinding him, and Norris then stepped straight into the path of one of the podium's cold-spark machines, catching sparks against his face and ear.

Norris did not sustain an injury and while it looked comical, the incident has brought podium safety into question, with David Coulthard calling for change.

Speaking on the Up to Speed podcast, the former Red Bull driver did not hold back on Norris' bottle-smashing habit.

"Banging the bottle, like right here, kids, banging glass on anything is not a good idea. You teach your smallest of children not to do that, and yet he continues to do it. He's very lucky."

Coulthard went further, suggesting the governing body needs to examine the podium setup itself.

"In all seriousness, he hasn't, like, gashed his hand. The FIA obviously needs to have a little look at the podium and do a little sense check on anything that could sparkle its way into the eye of a driver. So there's the first thing that needs a rework."
