Norris Battles Through Damage at Silverstone | F1 News

Lando Norris battled through a nightmare Sprint Qualifying at Silverstone after a front brake duct broke off, leaving him shaken and the car in rough shape — though the team patched it up just in time. Despite feeling the car improve after repairs, he still ended up sixth, narrowly missing out on a top-three spot in a session where positions were razor-thin. He acknowledged the challenge of chasing George Russell’s faster Mercedes, while praising Lewis Hamilton’s pole for the main race and the fan experience. Teammate Oscar Piastri also struggled, finishing seventh, with only minor gains from adjustments. Both drivers are now focused on unlocking more performance ahead of the next Sprint race, as McLaren continues to grapple with the gap to the front-runners.
