McLaren-Mercedes driver Lando Norris will be hoping to produce an improved performance when he takes part in the
Dutch Grand Prix.
The Belgian-British star endured a disappointing race as he finished 14th in the most recent race this season which was the Belgian Grand Prix on August 29.
Norris has now failed to secure a podium finish in his last three races and he will be keen to secure a top-three finish in the Netherlands.

The 2021 Belgian Grand Prix which was the 12th round in the current season was won by Red Bull Racing-Honda star Max Verstappen.
George Russell of Williams secured the runner-up spot, while Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes finished third as the race for the Formula One world title continues.
Hamilton is placed at the top of the 2021 Drivers' Championship standings and he is followed by Verstappen.
Norris is still placed third on the standings and he will be hoping to consolidate his spot in the top three by winning the Dutch Grand Prix.

“It was just too wet to race. The fans were amazing, sticking with us all day and I’m disappointed they didn’t get to see much action or any racing," Norris said after his forgettable Belgian Grand Prix display.
"But it was the correct decision not to go ahead. I would have loved the opportunity to make up for yesterday, do some racing, do some overtaking and put on a good show.
"The team in the garage did an amazing job getting the car ready for the race and it’s a shame we couldn’t make the most of their hard work," he continued.
"So I’m annoyed that yesterday’s crash hurt us a lot more than it should have done, but that’s the way it is and we move on to the next one."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
