Norris: Ready to go again at Spa

Norris won the last two races, the British and Austrian Grands Prix, while his teammate Oscar Piastri was playing second fiddle.

"I'm looking forward to getting back on track in Belgium this weekend," the Briton said ahead of this weekend's race. "Spa's always a good one to go to, and the fans there bring a mega atmosphere.

"Winning at Silverstone was an incredible feeling," Norris added, reflecting on his home win, "but my full attention is now on the double-header.

"I've been back at the MTC with the team, working hard and getting ready to go again. We're motivated and focused on keeping the momentum going," the eight-time Formula 1 winner concluded.

Piastri, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back, especially since he lost out on a win in Silverstone due to a penalty for a Safety Car infringement, something he was clearly irked about.

"I'm always very excited to go racing at Spa," he said in McLaren's race preview. "It's a legendary track, which feels awesome to drive with so many high-speed sections. It's one of the highlights on the calendar, for sure.

"We have worked hard during the gap in races, and my thanks go to everyone doing such a good job back at MTC," the Australian added.

McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella is looking to maximize his team's results at Spa this weekend, which will be running under the Sprint format, the third this season.

Stella said: "After two weeks away from track, we now head to Spa for the final double-header before the summer break.

"It's also a Sprint event, so we're looking forward to competing for more points with both drivers competing for victories.

"After the incredible 1-2 finish at our home race last time out, which meant so much to the team, we head to one of the most historic circuits on the calendar fully energized.

"Spa is an iconic venue and a real challenge for the drivers, so I'm sure it will offer some exciting racing for fans to watch," Stella concluded.

McLaren lead the 2025 F1 constructors' standings with 460 points, a whopping 238 points ahead of Ferrari in second.

Piastri leads Norris in the drivers' standings with only eight points separating the pair.
