Lando Norris is closing in on an unwanted F1 record held by Nick Heidfeld - the most grand prix podiums without a win.
That has placed him just one behind former BMW driver Heidfeld, who finished in runner-up spot eight times throughout his career and holds the undesirable record for most podiums without standing on the top step.
McLaren’s impressive development in 2023 has enabled Norris to rack up six podiums so far this year, though a first victory continues to evade the 23-year-old Briton. Norris admitted after Sunday’s race in Austin that he fears McLaren have missed their “best chance” of winning a race this season."Do I think our best chances have gone? I would say yes," Norris said."I think Qatar was our best chance of winning a race. And I missed out on that one.
"I don't want to say no, I don't say like never. I think there's no super high speed, Suzuka-style, Qatar-style circuits left which is where we're strong."I just want to be hopeful that we can do good results and I think we can still fight for podiums but these guys are too quick for me.” Norris added:"If you looked at the GPS overlays of how bad we are in the slow speed , I'm not looking forward to Brazil.Norris currently sits sixth in the drivers championship with four races to go, while McLaren have leapfrogged Aston Martin into fourth place in the constructors’ standings.
