Formula 1 completes its three-race summer series with the return of the British Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend.
F1 is back in the UK just days after home driver George Russell won in Austria but another driver also making headlines is Lando Norris.
McLaren driver Norris appeared to be on his way to a second win last race before passing leading driver Max Verstappen on the 64th lap causing the two to collide.
The collision left both cars with punctured tires and forced the British driver to retire, while Red Bull’s Verstappen dropped to fifth place.
Crucially, however, it opened the door for Norris’ compatriot Russell to claim a second F1 win.
The tension in the standings will now be at an all-time high as Norris, Russell and Lewis Hamilton will all battle it out for top spot on home soil.
McLaren has not won the British Formula 1 Grand Prix since Hamilton’s victory in 2008, while the seven-time world champion is the only current British driver to win at Silverstone.

Norris was asked whether his collision with Verstappen had affected the pair’s close friendship off the track.
“It depends on what he says,” Norris said. “If he said he did nothing wrong, I would lose a lot of respect for that.
“If he admits he was a bit stupid and crashed into me and was reckless in some way, I would just lose a little bit of respect for him.
“It’s hard to accept this when you’re fighting to win, I tried to be fair but he wasn’t.”
Verstappen said: “We will talk about that. Not now. This is not the right time. It’s better to calm down.
“We are race car drivers. Lando and I, we have a small age gap and that’s why we never really raced each other in the lower categories unlike some of the other riders. But we will continue.”
