Lando Norris remains a one-time Grand Prix winner but he could easily have added to that number in recent races and found himself in a serious title battle.
Norris' third place at the British Grand Prix was the latest race where McLaren would have asked themselves 'what could have been?' The 24-year-old could have won five of the last six races but mistakes from the team, or Norris himself, mean he is 84 points behind Max Verstappen in the drivers' standings at the halfway point of the season.
'At times, maybe very close to the edge but like we said we've spoken about it, we've talked about it and we're both happy to go racing again.' Actual result: 5th - Verstappen DNF - Norris Possible result: 1st - Norris 2nd - Verstappen Points swing: 14 Strategy at Silverstone goes wrongNorris was on course to win the British Grand Prix as he led with 14 laps to go ahead of the final pit stop for dry tyres.
