If there's a young driver on the grid, who apart from Charles Leclerc, has created sizeable impression in his very first Formula 1 season, then it has to be McLaren's Lando Norris.

A calm and collected driver with a clean race craft, Norris has shot to fame and earned himself the reputation of being one of the sport's finest young talents in barely no time at all.

It must be remembered that the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix, again a race where he hasn't driven before, is only Norris' 15th Grand Prix entry.

And at the Marina Bay, Lando Norris, who begins his Singapore charge from ninth on the grid will do well to collect useful points for his legendary racing outfit, once again finishing well inside the top ten.

At the narrow street-circuit, plagued by 23 testing corners, Norris will look after his tyres well and will even outscore his experienced Spanish teammate, Carlos Sainz Jr. It appears that a position anywhere between P7-P9 is easily on the cards for the 19-year-old.
