Lando Norris got extremely close to winning the Canadian Grand Prix, becoming the race leader for a significant amount of time. Although he qualified third, Norris managed to gain a position by the end of the race.

Norris went to Canada with hopes of bringing in a second win, but he had to settle for P2. However, this is still a good result for the team, as now, they know that they can lead races and win them too. Supporting the McLaren driver, was one of his biggest fans from back home. Norris’ sister Savannah’s daughter was found cheering him from her home as she was getting ready to see her uncle race in Montreal.
