2023 Fantasy Outlook
Norris' fourth season in Formula One- and subsequent fourth season with McLaren - was a bit of a step down from his 2021 season performance-wise, as both himself and former teammate Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the consistency of the car at times during the year. A lack of front-end grip is seemingly to blame for Norris' singular podium finish in 2022, despite him being the only driver not out of the Top 3 constructors (Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes) to do so. Regardless of the car's shortcomings, Norris was able to get a bit more performance out of his MCL36 than his previous teammate during the season and was McLaren's primary points-winner in the battle for the Constructor's Championship. Finishing in the Top 10 sixteen times over the course of the season, the driver of the No. 4 made a valiant effort to keep his team in the running- only for Alpine to end up finishing ahead of McLaren, clinching fourth-place by 14 points. This season, Norris hopes to make a statement as one of the more talented youths on the grid but will have to overcome yet another temperamental car if McLaren is unable to address the issues identified in 2022.

Wins Hungarian Grand Prix
Norris has won the Hungarian Grand Prix after holding off a thrilling late-race challenge for the lead from McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri, the Briton having made an alternative strategy work in his favour to take victory, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Norris would start third on the grid and utilize a one-stop pit strategy to make up for his pace against the Ferrari. Charles Leclerc would lead the early laps but pit for fresh rubber and Norris would stay out to lap 31 and inherit the lead. He would hand the lead back over to Leclerc for a time but would soon take it again once Leclerc made his second stop. Norris would then hold off a furious charge from Piastri over the final laps to secure the win. It was his fifth victory of the season and third in the last four races.
