We know that Lewis Hamilton probably won’t be spraying pit girls with his victory champagne any longer, but that doesn’t mean Russian president Vladimir Putin is exempt from his celebrations.

Yep, Vladimir was caught in the crossfire after Lewis wrapped up first place at the Russian Grand Prix in Soche yesterday and we can’t imagine the leader was all that impressed. The Express describes the incident as follows:

Hamilton had just been given the winner’s trophy by the president following the driver’s success…

Spraying Champagne in celebration, he then turned it on his fellow drivers on the podium.

But some stray bubbles soaked the back of Putin as he made his way off the stage.

Perhaps oblivious to his soggy jacket, Putin, who is proving himself a man of action with a campaign of airstrikes on Islamic State in Syria, remained calm as he made his exit.

Hamilton was celebrating his 42nd F1 victory, taking him past legend Ayrton Senna in the all-time list. Well played Lewis, but for future reference you may want to avoid dousing the man who has just launched a series of ‘mega missiles’ from his warships.
