McLaren-Mercedes driver Lando Norris will be hoping to claim his first victory of the season when he participates in the
British Grand Prix.
The Belgian-British star, who has won the last two Autosport British Competition Driver of the Year awards, finished fifth in last year's British Grand Prix.
Norris secured his third podium finish of the current season when he finished third in the recent 2021 Austrian Grand Prix on July 4.

The Austrian Grand Prix, which was the ninth round in the current season, was won by Red Bull Racing-Honda driver Max Verstappen.
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas, who drove for Williams between 2013 and 2016, finished second as he beat Norris to the finish line.
Norris is still placed fourth on the World Drivers' Championship standings and he is now three points behind third-placed Sergio Perez of Red Bull Racing.
Verstappen is sitting at the top of the standings and he is followed by Hamilton as the battle for this year's Formula One world title intensifies.

Norris has cautioned against soaring expectations for his home British Grand Prix after he impressed at the Austrian Grand Prix.
"The annoying thing is so many people are going to expect this every weekend now," Norris said.
"I'm not getting too giddy because I know we're going to go to Silverstone and it's probably going to be a little bit more like back to normality."
Red Bull Racing-Honda are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Mercedes and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
