LANDO NORRIS is back in action this weekend as he looks to extend his lead at the top of the Formula One Drivers’ Championship.
The Brit was the first winner in 2025, taking the chequered flag ahead of Max Verstappen in the Australian Grand Prix.

He struggled a bit last time out, finishing second to McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri at the Chinese Grand Prix.
This season looked to be a thriller before the action even started, and with the top four split by just 10 points after three races, F1 looks to be living up to its billing in 2025.
Verstappen, George Russell and Piastri sit second, third and fourth respectively, with rookie driver Kimi Antonelli in fifth.
New Ferrari star Lewis Hamilton converted a pole to a win in the Chinese Sprint Race but was then DISQUALIFIED from the main race.
That left him lingering down in ninth, one point above Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc.
The Ferrari pair will be looking to put some more points on the board as they travel to Suzuka to take on the Japanese Grand Prix.
