Lando Norris has issued an apology just minutes after winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The McLaren star capitalised on team-mate Oscar Piastri receiving a 10-minute grid penalty to win Sunday's race, with Nico Hulkenberg claiming third and the first podium of his career in the process.
After the race, Norris was delighted with the 25-year-old beaming from ear to ear.
However, the F1 star allowed his excitement to boil over when he accidentally swore on live television.

"It's beautiful. Everything I dreamed of, I guess," he said when asked how he felt.
"Everything I've ever wanted to achieve. Apart from a championship, I think this is as good as it gets in terms of feelings and in terms of achievement, being proud, all of it.
"This is where it all started for me, and now thankfully I've been able to have my go.
"Incredible race, stressful as always, but the support from the fans made the difference today, so I've got to thank them for it all.
"Your mind just goes pretty blank. Everything you might think before the race, you forget. The main thing is just don't f**k it up, that's rule number one.
"The last few laps I was just looking into the crowd. I was just trying to take it all in, enjoy the moment, because it might never happen again.
"I hope it does. But these are memories that I'll bring with me forever. An incredible achievement."
Sky Sports then apologised to viewers for Norris' language, with the McLaren star adding an apology of his own.

He also admitted that he found the race 'stressful', while showing class by congratulating Piastri on his efforts.
"In terms of being a stressful race, this is as stressful as you can get," he admitted.
"It was a good race for Oscar as well. I've got to give credit to Oscar, he was fast the whole way.
"So a round of applause Oscar, because he put up a good fight.
