Lando Norris will start third on the grid for Sunday's
British Grand Prix. This is the first time in history there has been three Brits in the top three positions, as he sits behind
George Russell and
Lewis Hamilton. Although he might be starting from P3, the
Mercedes drivers do not scare the
McLaren driver.
Norris got off to a flying start on Friday, finishing first in both free practice sessions. Nevertheless, the same could not be said on Saturday, with Mercedes appearing to be stronger. In qualifying, Norris finished third. Asked whether he felt frustrated by not securing pole position for his home race, the Brit told
David Coulthard:
"I was [laying down the lap times] until the end, but no, I'm happy with the P3. Three Brits top three, so pretty cool here. Good laps by George and Lewis, they did an excellent job they put in some nice laps and a little mistake on my part at the end but P3's still good you're still good." Last year, Norris finished second on the podium, behind
Max Verstappen, but ahead of Hamilton. With rain predicted tomorrow, the race is set to be an exciting one, meaning all is still
"100 per cent" all to play for according to the
McLaren driver.
"It's going to rain again tomorrow so I'm excited," he said. "It's going to be a good race. We're quick. I can bring the fight to George, and I can bring the fight to Lewis, so excited to put on a good show tomorrow." Despite Hamilton revealing he will work with his teammate to
"keep Lando behind," this does not scare the Brit.
"I hope we're going to have some good battles, so I am looking forward to it," Norris concluded.
