Lando Norris's home race takes place this weekend at the British Grand Prix. At the Silverstone circuit, the Briton has his own grandstand and hopes to impress the crowd with McLaren's new upgrades.
After being asked if he is expecting to have the new upgrades perform at Silverstone, Norris said, "Our strengths here were the high speed, so I want to hope it's a similar case next weekend, but it's still a very different track."
"It's a different layout. We're not going to take anything for granted. But the upgrades were working as they should have done today, and that's certainly a good sign."
Norris wants to impress the Landostand and McLaren fans
The MCL39 has been an incredibly powerful car, one of the most dominant car this season. Alex Dunne, a F2 driver, managed to go fourth fastest in his first ever Formula 1 session during the Austrian Grand Prix.

"We give a lot of credit to everyone back in MTC and to the whole team for giving us another very, very good car, upgrades that we just can put on – they've been a little while and we've been pushing with things – but we put them on the car, and they worked as they should."
Not only is it Norris' home race, but also McLaren's, which is something the British driver looks forward to.
"We're satisfied. The team is satisfied and excited for next weekend. The best race weekend of the year, in my opinion. To have my own grandstand, to have the British fans for McLaren and for myself is something I'm looking forward to for sure."
