The 24-year-old became the 21st British Grand Prix winner when he crossed the line for his maiden victory.
Lando Norris ended Max Verstappen’s crushing winning streak by claiming the maiden victory of his career in Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.
Norris, who has emerged as one of the grid’s brightest stars following his debut as a teenager in Melbourne in 2019, has so often been the nearly-man. He also escaped damage when he clattered into a red and white traffic bollard at the chicane on the 22nd lap. With the chasing pack neutralised, Norris dived in for his only change of rubber to keep hold of his lead. Not only was he at the sharp end of the pack, but he had fresher tyres to boot, too.
Suddenly the improbable looked possible with Norris continuing to increase his margin. One second became two, which became three and with 10 laps to go he was four seconds clear.
