Former F1 driver Karun Chandhok emphasized the significance of the Austrian Grand Prix for Lando Norris, who currently trails teammate Oscar Piastri by 22 points in the championship standings.

With the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on the horizon following the Spielberg round, Chandhok stressed Norris’ need to approach his home race with momentum and confidence. The British driver is expected to face substantial pressure and expectations, especially with a dedicated grandstand and painted kerbs awaiting him at Silverstone. Chandhok expressed hope for Norris to excel in Austria, considering his strong performances at the track in the past, including a near-victory last year.
