Runner-up Finish at Spa
Norris finished second in the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The race would start in wet conditions under the safety car and all drivers were initially on intermediate tyres. Once the safety car moved aside and the field was turned loose, Norris would surrender the lead to Oscar Piastri on lap 1 as the young driver made a bold power move around the outside. Norris would settle in and defend P2 the rest of the way. He'd use medium tyres to track down the one-stopping Piastri in the end, but would fall nearly 3.5-seconds short at the checkered flag.

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.
