Lella Lombardi was a lesbian driver from Italy. She was the second woman to compete in a formula one race, second to Maria Teresa de Filippis. She was active between 1974-1976. On top of being a pioneer when it comes to women in the sport,
Lando Norris on Lewis Hamilton's win: "For me, Lewis was a guy I watched when I was a child so the fact I got to share a podium with him... I got to go from seeing him standing on the top step in 2007 when I first started to watch Formula 1 to 19 years later, sharing that same feeling."
"For me, it was special because of that and I’m still a fan of F1. As much as I love doing it myself, I’m still a fan so it's still cool. It's cool if you have respect for what he's achieved - he’s still a seven time world champion and that's a crazy thing. For me to share a podium with one of the best drivers ever, to see him go through some of the struggles he’s had and of course to see how well he’s doing this year - I think it’s a pleasure for a lot of people to see."
