McLaren driver Lando Norris of Britain steers his car during the first free practice at the Silverstone racetrack, Silverstone, England, July 5, 2024

LANDO NORRIS bounced back from his collision with Max Verstappen to put his McLaren at the summit of today’s practice order for the British Grand Prix.

Norris, who on Thursday retracted his demand for Verstappen to apologise following their coming together in Austria last weekend, finished 0.134 seconds clear of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll.

Oscar Piastri was third in the other McLaren before he broke down in the closing minutes. Piastri, 0.211 sec behind Norris, was able to limp back to the pits.
