BEST OF LUKE

Brits back Norris to take it to the Max

- 

LANDO NORRIS has been backed by his fellow Brits as the nation's best hope of a home victory at Silverstone this weekend.

Norris and McLaren have been the ones taking the fight to Max Verstappen in recent weeks.

And Norris heads into the British Grand Prix weekend days after he collided with the Dutchman while fighting for the lead in Austria last Sunday.

The 24-year-old looked relaxed as he played darts in the paddock with Luke 'the Nuke' Littler before taking the teenage sensation for a spin around the Silverstone track yesterday.

Littler said: "Giving F1 drivers a crash course on how to play darts was a fantastic experience. I was surprised by how good some of them were.
