Waiting is the hardest part in Formula 1.
Things are getting good in the driver's championship this year: Red Bull enters the British Grand Prix on a five-race winning streak, with Max Verstappen sitting firmly atop the table entering Lewis Hamilton's home GP.
This year hasn't just been about Verstappen and Hamilton, though: Youngster Lando Norris has staked his claim as the next, extremely talented racer who could one day secure a championship for himself. The McLaren driver has finished in the top five for eight of the nine races run so far this year, earning podiums in three of those races.
