Wins British Grand Prix
Norris has won in front of his home crowd at the British Grand Prix, the McLaren man leading from team mate Oscar Piastri while Kick Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg claimed a long-awaited podium in third, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wet conditions at the start would make for a lively grand prix on Sunday at Silverstone. Early race spins and rain returning at lap 11 would make this a strategy nightmare. However, Norris would manage the race well and get around a spinning Max Verstappen during a lap 20 restart. Oscar Piastri would lose the lead due to a 10-second penalty and that would promote Norris into the top spot on lap 44. He would manage the gap back to Piastri the rest of the way and master the challenging conditions to pick up the win. It was Norris' fourth victory of the season an first win at Silverstone.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Norris' fourth season in Formula One- and subsequent fourth season with McLaren - was a bit of a step down from his 2021 season performance-wise, as both himself and former teammate Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the consistency of the car at times during the year. A lack of front-end grip is seemingly to blame for Norris' singular podium finish in 2022, despite him being the only driver not out of the Top 3 constructors (Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes) to do so. Regardless of the car's shortcomings, Norris was able to get a bit more performance out of his MCL36 than his previous teammate during the season and was McLaren's primary points-winner in the battle for the Constructor's Championship. Finishing in the Top 10 sixteen times over the course of the season, the driver of the No. 4 made a valiant effort to keep his team in the running- only for Alpine to end up finishing ahead of McLaren, clinching fourth-place by 14 points. This season, Norris hopes to make a statement as one of the more talented youths on the grid but will have to overcome yet another temperamental car if McLaren is unable to address the issues identified in 2022.
