After eight second place finishes and a host of missed opportunities, Norris remained calm on the US street circuit to take McLaren's first victory since 2021.

Norris tells rival to 'stick to driving'

Though Norris took the spotlight at the weekend for his stunning win, he also spent a lot of time making standard media appearances.

Ahead of the race, Norris took part in a 'lie detector' test for Sky Sports, and was asked whether he could beat friend and rival George Russell in a fight.

"I think yes," he said. "You know the kind of people, sometimes you expect [them] to be good at sports, but you're like 'is he alright?'

"He can drive well, fair play! But give him a cricket bat, golf, and you're like, 'stick to driving mate!'"

Asked about Williams driver Alex Albon, Norris was similarly confident: "He's along the same lines as George, so yes!"
