Norris presents award in Champions League final
Real Madrid have won the Champions League final last evening against Dortmund. However, it was not the big fan of the team, Carlos Sainz, present at Wembley Stadium, instead his former teammate and one-time Grand Prix winner Lando Norris.
Lando Norris handed out Daniel Carvajal the Player of the Match award following the final. The British driver was a sensible one to invite, as the final was at the Wembley Stadium in London. Growing up in Bristol, the Briton supported Bristol City and because of Cristiano Ronaldo, he briefly supported Manchester United. However, he has since declared that he is not the biggest football fan in the world, but Norris did meet the Portuguese's former teammate.

No Spanish drivers at Wembley
On the other hand, on the current Formula One grid, there are two Spanish drivers who are supporters of Real Madrid. Carlos Sainz even tried out for his home-town team when he was younger, but he was not present, or at least he shared no photos about him being there, even though this weekend there is a break in Formula One ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso watched Real Madrid's semi-final win against Bayern Munich earlier this year, but he was also not present either. On Instagram, in a story, the two-time world champion did share he is spending the weekend elsewhere, and also posted a photo with his former team principal, Flavio Briatore.
Both Spaniard posted stories congratulating their favourite team.
