McLaren's Lando Norris will be aiming to get his Formula One Championship challenge back on track at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday, June 29.
The Brit has really kicked on since his maiden Grand Prix victory in Miami last year as he avoided becoming the driver with the most podiums before claiming a win - a record he shares with Patrick Depailler, Mika Hakkinen, Eddie Irvine and Jean Alesi (16 podiums).
Norris has only finished outside the podium places twice in 2025, winning the Australian Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix, and he's the closest challenger to McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri in the World Drivers' Championship standings after 10 races.

The 25-year-old driver saw Piastri open up a 22-point lead after the Canadian Grand Prix and nearly took out the Australian on lap 66 following a collision which resulted in his retirement, while it also allowed Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen to close within nine points of him in third place.
Norris issued an apology to Piastri for running into the back of his car in an attempt to make a pass for P4, admitting it was a "stupid" move.

"I thought Oscar would move a bit more to the right, not to leave a gap obviously - I don't expect something to be easy from him, but I just misjudged it," Norris said.
"It was all my mistake, I take full blame so I apologise to my whole team and to Oscar for attempting something like that."
When asked about having to go for it, he added: "Yeah, but there's going for it like in the hairpin - a good, fair move - and there's being stupid like I was at the end."
