Lando Norris required a statement drive to reassert his world championship credentials and he delivered it emphatically with victory at the Austrian Grand Prix. The British driver is famously self-critical but if his harshest critic is himself, this was a suitably commanding riposte to all the doubters.
After a tightly contested, impossibly tense battle with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, during which the pair fought all the way to the flag, the British driver held the upper hand to take the win and close to within 15 points of his teammate at the top of the championship, indicating that the two could yet duke this one out all the way to Abu Dhabi in December.
