Maybe that's a bit unrealistic, but I will put on a good show," he said.

His Mercedes rival, George Russell, had previously quipped about wanting to set up his own grandstand at the same location next year.

Norris dismissed the idea, saying, "He can do whatever he wants. I just have, I think, more passionate fans and a better fanbase."

Russell confirmed that plans were underway for future seasons.

"It's probably something we're working towards for next year," he said, pointing to the area outside Stowe corner as his preferred choice.

Grid Penalties and Championship Standings

Further down the grid, reliability issues and technical penalties altered the starting order.

Aston Martin's Lance Stroll received a 10-place grid penalty for exceeding his permitted allocation of energy stores and control electronics, dropping him to the back.

Alpine's Pierre Gasly was also penalized three grid spots for unnecessarily impeding Stroll during the first qualifying session.

The FIA stewards stated that Gasly remained at a slow speed on the racing line, and evidence showed he had information to appreciate Stroll was approaching on a timed lap.

Alpine's pit-to-car radio was non-functional at the time.

Following the race results and a post-race track-limits penalty that dropped Antonelli to 16th place, his championship lead over Russell narrows to 25 points.
