The British driver clinched a dominant win to overhaul teammate Oscar Piastri’s 14-point advantage, taking the lead for the first time in 189 days.

He was a resounding 38.5 seconds clear of second-placed Charles Leclerc, with Max Verstappen claiming third to sit 36 points off the lead with four rounds remaining.

Norris was booed after qualifying on pole, on the pre-race parade and on the podium, but said he simply finds it amusing.

“I don’t know why, to be honest. People can do what they want honestly, that is sport sometimes, I can’t stop laughing when I get booed,’ said Norris.

“You don’t want it, I’d prefer if people cheer for me. Who knows? I just concentrate on doing my thing. If they want to continue they can.”
