Lando Norris was criticized for drinking a Coca-Cola after the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix. The McLaren driver responded to the criticism stating that he can drink whatever he wants.
The reason behind the criticism is related to Formula 1's advertising commitments, which is sponsored by Pepsi, Coca-Cola's rival. This fact makes the situation delicate for drivers associated with the competition.
Formula 1 has sponsorship agreements with specific brands, which implies restrictions for drivers in terms of visibility of competing products during official events.
