Lando Norris has revealed he completed the United States Grand Prix while being "heavily dosed up" on painkillers to help with severe headaches.
Norris started the race in Texas from sixth place, and that was where he finished. Those figures suggest it was an uneventful afternoon for the McLaren driver, but that was far from the case as he was forced to recover after a dreadful start off the line.
He was caught up behind the first-corner incident between George Russell and Carlos Sainz, which forced him to slow down rapidly and meant he was overtaken by several other racers. In the opening stages he looked like slipping out of contention entirely, running in 13th place at one point.
