The impressive Lando Norris is preparing for his first British Grand Prix and he will be hoping his team can keep up their current pace and bring home yet more points.
Norris is enjoying a brilliant debut season in F1, scoring 22 points so far, a tally only bested by his teammate Carlos Sainz and the drivers from the three big teams.
The young Brit was on the podium in last year's F2 sprint race and if current form is anything to go by, a place in the top ten is not unlikely.
Norris said: “Going to my first home race as an F1 driver means quite a lot to me. I’ve done a lot of racing there before in the junior formulae but having a home race in Formula 1 is totally different. I can’t wait to see all the fans dressed in papaya, experience the atmosphere and enjoy the weekend.
“The track itself is fast, fun and good for overtaking, and I enjoyed my weekend there in F2 last year, especially when I overtook two cars going through Turns 16 and 17.
"Hopefully, we’ll be able to do something similar this weekend. The most important objective from the weekend is that we keep up the good work and keep pushing as hard as we can for those points.”
