168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris will not be attending King’s Day in Amsterdam this year to concentrate on his F1 world championship bid.

Last year Norris sustained a nasty facial ꦏinjury while partying in Amsterdam ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, which he would go on to claim his ma🍰iden F1 win at.

The McLaren driver cut his nose on brok🌠en glass during a boat party and was pictured with a bloody bandage wrapped around his face as he enjoyed the Koningsdag (Kingꩲ’s Day) celebrations with DJ Martin Garrix.

But Norris has confirmed he will not be attending this year’s event, which takes place on April 26, a few days before the 25-year-old Briton will arrive in Miami ahea🔯d of the sixth round of the 2025 season.

Norris is instead ensuring he is fully focu🦩se🐻d on his F1 title bid, having lost his lead in the world championship last time out in Saudi Arabia.

A fourth place finish in Jeddah saw Norris slip 10 points behind McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, who claimed his third win in five༺ races and with it move to the top of the drivers’ standings.

Asked if he would attend King’s Day, Norris told Viaplay: ”No. Sadly not. I wish [I could go] because it was one of the best days of my l🅘ife... I won Miami [after King's Day last year].

"So, no ... I had a great week with Martin and then the whole gang out in Amsterdam last year. But I'm fighting for a championship. I can't afford to do these thin🥃gs. I'll go back home and tra🦂in.

"This race [in Saudi Arabia] was tough, i𝓡t was physically demanding... There's much more to life than to drink. I've not drunk all year 🌊and I'm proud of that. [I'll] keep working hard, so no fun for me."

Lando Norris explains 2024 injury

Speaking ♑at last year’s Miami Grand Prix, Norris shed lig♏ht on his bizarre injury which made headlines.

"I've got a lot of friends, so it was a good weekend, but already t🔯he next morning, I flew straight🍬 to Miami," Norris said.

"It was just a bit of broken glass, and obviously looks a lot worse than it is, and everyone thought it was horrendous, but it'🐭s just a little cut♈.

"I wish it was a coole𓄧r story, but if I can spend some days with my friends, then I am going to enjoy it.

"People made a bigger deal out of it than it was, it was just a littl💛e cut but I am not embarrassed, I'm not trying to hide it.”

Norris added: "I t♛ook a picture, and I flew over [to Miami] into something much bigger than what it should have be🐈en," he added.

"I'm recognised everywhere I go, and f💜or every driver, you get recognised quite a bit, especially with Drive to Survive and things like that, and it is not specifically racing fans who recognise you.

"It is definitely worse than a few years ago, and do𓂃 I wish I was seen less? Yes, but it is part of it and I have nothing to complain about.

"Sometimes when you're out for dinner or with your family, I guess you wish you could be noticed less, you always fee🍒l like there are some eyes on you.

"But I am sure its a lot worse for people who are even more famous, and I'm sure a lot of people wish they could be in🐻 Formula 1 - so you win some and you💝 lose some."
