How Zak Brown reacted to the win

Norris was helped by a safety car in Miami, but McLaren demonstrated strong pace, which Brown quickly highlighted immediately after. "What a drive. The car was great. I've got to thank everyone back at McLaren and here," Brown told Sky Sports.

Norris was leading a Grand Prix in the closing stages in 2021, but a bad call with the rain caused Norris to miss out. Memories of that made the final moments tense for all involved at McLaren. "[My nerves] were not so good. All the hard work, paying off," Brown added.

Daniel Ricciardo won on behalf of McLaren in 2021. Brown then got a tattoo of the Monza circuit to celebrate. The boss is open to adding to his collection to celebrate with Norris. "Yeah, I don't mind Miami. It's kind of my home country, so why not [get another tattoo]?"
