LONDON - McLaren's Lando Norris felt the absence of cheering fans more than most as the Briton celebrated his first Formula One podium finish in front of empty grandstands at Austria's Red Bull Ring on Sunday.

"I think we can all be happy we’re here racing and procedures that are put in place are pretty bulletproof ... but it’s a bit different for me," said the 20-year-old. "And I think something that makes it so special is always having the crowds there, celebrating there with you, whether they are always your fans or not. It just makes up the atmosphere so much and it adds a lot of excitement."
