Norris reaches 40 straight Q3s at Silverstone

Formula1.com reported Lando Norris made Q3 for a 40th straight Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone, while BBC Sport featured the reigning champion.

Formula1.com reported that Lando Norris reached Q3 for the 40th consecutive Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone, making him the sixth driver in Formula 1 history to hit that mark. Norris is fifth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 97 points.

A separate Formula1.com item on the 2026 title race noted that four different drivers had won the previous four rounds, without naming a clear favourite. Norris has raced in Formula 1 since 2019 and, across 161 Grands Prix entries for McLaren, has recorded 11 wins and 16 pole positions.

BBC Sport also reported that Andrew Benson sat down with the reigning world champion for F1: Chequered Flag. With the story unconfirmed beyond those reports, the Silverstone Q3 streak and the interview form the current picture around Norris rather than any settled championship outcome.
