The Latest Breaking News from Silverstone

The upgrade comes soon after a new front wing was introduced at Silverstone, as the team tries to improve its performance in the wake of the recent huge leap made by close rival McLaren.

After his performance at Silverstone where he successfully converted his front-row start into a second-place finish, Norris anticipated a much harder time of it at the Hungaroring circuit, noting after the British Grand Prix that the McLaren's performance in low-speed corners was still "poor".

Unfortunately, the first track running of the prototype wheel arches or 'spray guards', as some are informally calling them, was not an instant success.

His running was divided into two periods, testing both dry and wet compounds for 2024, and he racked up almost 700 kilometers – which is more than twice a race distance.
