Lando Norris has been one of the best contenders for the championship this season and has put up a tough fight against Max Verstappen on numerous occasions. However, a proposed overtake by the Brit on the three-time world champion ended in agony as they made contact coming out of a specific turn in Spielberg.

Norris won the Miami Grand Prix this season, notching up his first career triumph in the pinnacle of motorsport. He has also scored six podiums in 11 races.

We know we have a fast car that can compete for wins at every type of circuit, which makes us excited for the rest of the season. Getting a podium last year in Silverstone was amazing, but I know that winning at a home race would be next level. Let’s go!

I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of papaya fans in the stands. I made some really special memories last year, and I’m sure it’s going to be another exciting weekend. Most importantly, we’ll hopefully keep adding more points to the bank.
Oscar Piastri said ahead of the British Grand Prix

Oscar Piastri has become a promising newcomer to the world of F1 following a string of impressive performances for McLaren since the past year. The 23-year-old missed out on the win in Austria last week by only 1.9 seconds to Mercedes, entailing yet another encouraging run by him.

McLaren is currently third in the constructors championship and while the Woking-based team has been formidable this campaign, wins have not been their strong suit. The upcoming race in Silverstone will test the papayas for the third week in a row against the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull, who lead the championship race this season.
