BEYOND THE GRID: Lando Norris on racing Verstappen, his maiden win in Miami and going for glory in Silverstone

Lando Norris’ first F1 victory at the Miami Grand Prix changed everything, as he explains on this week’s edition of Beyond The Grid.
Speaking to host Tom Clarkson prior to being right in the thick of the action at last weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, the McLaren driver reflects on why winning means so much more tham simply fighting for the odd podium, and why racing for the lead feels so special.
Norris looks back at races in Canada and Spain he feels he could have won this year, and gives a detailed breakdown of what he could have done differently. He also talks about racing Max Verstappen, and why he feels he still has to prove himself against champion drivers.
Plus, Norris looks ahead to this weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He remembers his first experience of a Formula 1 Grand Prix, how it felt to lead the 2023 race, and imagines taking victory in front of his home fans.
