McLaren driver Lando Norris revealed after the race that he felt as though a fifth place finish was possible at Silverstone.

The British driver was obviously looking to secure a good result in front of a home crowd and started the race from sixth place.

That is where he would finish though, too, with the Alpine of Fernando Alonso able to get past him over the course of the race to take fifth, whilst the Ferraris of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez were obviously too fast to catch.

Norris, felt, though, that P5 was possible with him saying to the press post race:

"It was a long one, the first stint was tough and we just made the wrong call with the pit-stop.

"P5 was where we should have been."

Naturally, the headline grabbing at Silverstone was done by the huge crash that played out at the start of the race, and the McLaren driver reflected on the incident in the press pen after the chequered flag:

"I mean first of all as usual it's good to hear they both got out and they're okay.

"It's scary to watch especially in the middle of a race but shows how good the safety is and hopefully they're back racing next week."

Both Zhou Guanyu and Alex Albon, the two drivers most impacted by the crash, were given the all-clear yesterday after medical checks.

That is great to see, and both will be itching to put it behind them and go racing this weekend in Austria.
