Formula One heads to Silverstone this weekend for a highly-anticipated British Grand Prix.
A brewing rivalry between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen saw them collide in Austria last weekend, allowing George Russell to swoop in for a rare Mercedes win.
Norris and Verstappen are best of friends off the track but their on-track battles are quickly turning into the storyline of the 2024 F1 season.
That is, away from the Red Bull driver marching towards a fourth world title in a row with an 81-point lead over Charles Leclerc.
Ferrari have barely featured on the podium since Leclerc’s win in Monaco due to McLaren’s resurgence and an improved set of results for Mercedes.
The home fans on Sunday afternoon will certainly be backing Norris, Russell and Lewis Hamilton to knock Verstappen off his perch.
