Wins Austrian Grand Prix
Norris returned to winning ways at the Austrian Grand Prix after getting the better of McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri in a head-to-head scrap for victory - title rival Max Verstappen having been eliminated in a first-lap incident, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Norris would get away well at the lights out and his teammate Oscar Piastri would vault Charles Leclerc for second-place. The two McLarens would get away from the field and battle hotly for the lead in the early laps. Norris and Piastri had the clear pace and would separate themselves from the rest. Norris would do a good job keeping Piastri out of DRS range in the closing laps and would secure the win by just over 2.5-seconds. It was his third victory of the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Norris' fourth season in Formula One- and subsequent fourth season with McLaren - was a bit of a step down from his 2021 season performance-wise, as both himself and former teammate Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the consistency of the car at times during the year. A lack of front-end grip is seemingly to blame for Norris' singular podium finish in 2022, despite him being the only driver not out of the Top 3 constructors (Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes) to do so. Regardless of the car's shortcomings, Norris was able to get a bit more performance out of his MCL36 than his previous teammate during the season and was McLaren's primary points-winner in the battle for the Constructor's Championship. Finishing in the Top 10 sixteen times over the course of the season, the driver of the No. 4 made a valiant effort to keep his team in the running- only for Alpine to end up finishing ahead of McLaren, clinching fourth-place by 14 points. This season, Norris hopes to make a statement as one of the more talented youths on the grid but will have to overcome yet another temperamental car if McLaren is unable to address the issues identified in 2022.
