F1 expert sees Norris crushing the competition: Austria unlocks his secret weapon

Norris took pole position by over half a second clear of Charles Leclerc and over one second clear of Max Verstappen in seventh.

Speaking about the qualifying session on his YouTube channel, Windsor said, “I've always said he's [Norris] got a lovely touch, that he has more feel for the front of the car. He drives with the front of the car more than Oscar [Piastri]. But of course, we know he's got lots of other shortcomings to do with his concentration.”

Piastri starts on the second row, behind Leclerc. Unfortunately for the Australian, his rhythm was broken by a yellow flag at the last second during qualifying.

Windsor then explains that the first time he saw Norris’s talent for the Austrian track was during a battle with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

He continued, “What I think actually happens in Austria is that Lando doesn't have to work very hard actually to become quite an efficient short corner driver because particularly turn four lends itself to that technique.“

Windsor said, "It's a downhill decreasing radius right-hander, and it's almost impossible not to go in shortening the corner and extending the straight as much as possible. It line locks you into doing that.”

He also mentioned that because of how the track is, he believes that is why Liam Lawson qualified as high as he did; because the track suits his driving style.

"We're seeing Lando more of a short corner driver in Austria than probably any other racetrack of the year, and that's why he's so good around Austria.”

Norris did not finish the Canada Grand Prix after a last minute crash when battling Piastri. However, with Charles Leclerc right behind him and Piastri on the second row, can he keep his lead?
