Racing Bulls have apologised after a video on social media appeared to show a team member making a thumbs-down gesture as McLaren’s Lando Norris collected the winner’s trophy at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The employee, wearing team uniform and filming the podium celebrations on a mobile phone, turned and repeatedly gives a thumbs down to fans below.

Another team member put the person’s arm down and appeared to gesture for them to stop.

Racing Bulls said the action “doesn’t reflect our team’s values or the spirit”.
