Lando Norris has had a really unlucky season. The McLaren driver has been forced to retire from a number of races and is hoping that his luck will change this weekend at the United States Grand Prix.

"I'm looking forward to putting Mexico behind me and focusing on the next race," Norris said in his race preview. "COTA is one of my favourite circuits and I've been working hard to prepare for the weekend. Having taken part in FP1 last year, it's not a completely new track to me, so I know I'll be able to hit the ground running on Friday.

"We know that the battle for fourth place isn't quite wrapped up yet, so we'll be pushing hard to maximise our championship position in Austin."

McLaren will look to cement their position as 'best of the rest' this weekend as they look to dominate the midfield. Norris will hope that he has more luck and that he can score as many points as possible.
