McLaren-Mercedes driver Lando Norris will be keen to boost his hopes of finishing in the top three when he takes part in the Turkish
Grand Prix.
The Belgian-British star finished ninth in last season's Turkish Grand Prix while representing Racing Point-BWT Mercedes at the time.
Norris finished seventh in the most recent race in the current campaign which was the Russian Grand Prix on September 26.

The 2021 Russian Grand Prix which was the 15th round in the current season was won by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton.
Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen finished second as he beat third-place finisher Carlos Sainz Jr of Ferrari to the runners-up spot.
Hamilton is placed at the top of the 2021 Drivers' Championship standings and he is followed by Verstappen and Mercedes' Valtter Bottas respectively.
Norris is now placed fourth on the standings and he will be hoping to leapfrog Bottas into third place by winning the Turkish Grand Prix.

“Not the result we wanted in the end,“ Norris reflected on his team's performance at the Russian Grand Prix.
“I could have won the race and I didn’t so I’m never going to be happy like this. But it’s the way it is, the way it went. We made the decisions.
"I made the decisions that I made and we were obviously wrong at the end of the day, so a tough one. But on the positive side I guess I got a couple of points and Daniel [Ricciardo, who finished P4] did a good job as well, so for the team it’s still a decent day.”
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
