After gloriously securing a one-two finish at Monza last weekend, the celebrations for drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo are not over yet. Today they received a hero's welcome at the McLaren Technical Centre in Woking.

As seen in footage shared by the team, the two drivers were given a festive welcome at the headquarters. Employees in the MTC formed an honor guard to congratulate the drivers while clapping.

On the historic circuit in Italy, the British team finally saw multiple years' worth of investment and development paid off. A strong start propelled Daniel Ricciardo from P2 into the lead, although he was immediately under threat from Max Verstappen.

When Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton fended off both themselves and each other in an incident that will be fresh in our minds it was just a matter of not making any mistakes for Ricciardo. His McLaren teammate Norris managed to outsmart Charles Leclerc late in the race after the safety car, and the one-two was officially a fact.
