On Sky Sports' YouTube channel, Lando Norris was tasked to answer a series of questions with a lie detector connected to the British driver, who won the first F1 GP of his career at the Miami Grand Prix. The McLaren driver had to answer who is currently the best British driver on the grid as well.

So does Lando Norris think he is currently the best British driver on the grid? After being asked, the McLaren driver remained hesitant to answer and made gestures with his hands together with a smile on his face.

While thinking, we he was also reminded that his current 'rivals' in this question are Lewis Hamilton and George Russell - not taking into account Oliver Bearman, who replaced Carlos Sainz for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Norris eventually decided to back himself and answered with a "yes", but was caught out by the detector, as the man handling the computer quickly indicated that he lied. This was the first time he was caught out by the detector. Then, left with two choices, Norris said "Lewis", picking the seven-time world champion Hamilton over the last British driver ahead of Norris to win a Formula One race back at Interlagos in 2022, George Russell.
