Formula 1 title contender Lando Norris is scarred by success. He also has a nose for it.<\/p>\n

The McLaren driver now sports two scars on his nose, each a memento of a career milestone, and the Briton is not altogether unhappy about it.<\/p>\n

The first cut was acquired in Amsterdam last year on a broken glass while on a party weekend, days before he took his breakthrough maiden career F1 victory in Miami.<\/p>\n

The second injury came at Silverstone this month while he was celebrating a first home win in front of fans at the British Grand Prix and a mesh fence partially collapsed and a photographer fell on him.<\/p>\n

“It’s healing nicely now,” Norris, laughing, told reporters when asked at the Belgian Grand Prix about the latest facial injury. “I got a more professional repair on this one.<\/p>\n

“But both are great memories of mine. So if I ever want to look in the mirror and think of something great, I just look at my nose. It was a little shame because at that moment I wanted to stand on the pit straight and all the fans were there, so I missed out a little bit on a nice moment. My nose is unlucky at the moment.”<\/p>\n
