The British driver finished an impressive 20 seconds ahead of Verstappen, marking one of his most commanding wins in Formula 1.
A game-changer for McLaren
This win further solidifies McLaren’s place in the Constructors’ Championship, with Norris leading a strong performance. His teammate, Oscar Piastri, also finished on the podium in third place, boosting McLaren’s standing as one of the strongest teams in 2024.
