Speaking ahead of the weekend, Norris told Sky: “The team have done a good job. We weren't mean𓄧t to have these bits here originally, it was only meant to be for Silverstone.
“So it's good we have pushed through as 💙many things as we could, especia𝄹lly with it being a Sprint Race - two races to potentially score points.
“So it's the first upgrade that's really meant to brin💛g performance and make us go quicker. It's been a difficult start and I'm hoping it will be the thing that allows us to score points more easily.”
Norris has performed spectacularly in Austria over the years, 🔜scoring his first F1 podium in 2020.

He nea𓂃rly beat Max Verstappen to pole in 202🍨1, before finishing on the podium again that year.
"I think it has been my most successful track, or Imo൩la, but I🥃 prefer this circuit. I have always enjoyed this circuit since I won here in 2015 with Formula 4,” he added.
"It's one we have done we𒊎ll at as a team, one that has suited our car a bit more. Maybe not so much last year, but the years before that.
"I got my first F1 podi🔯um here in 2020, so one I will remember and enjoy. It's good for Qualifying and the races, so normally an exciting wꦜeekend.
"It's challenging because it's a sprint - one Practice going straight into Qualifying, which I like. It's a good challenge for us as drivers and ꩵthe engineers."
