The Turkish Grand Prix which was the 16th round in the current season was won by Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas.
Max Verstappen finished second with his Red Bull Racing-Honda teammate Sergio Perez finishing third on the day as the Austrian manufacturer enjoyed a successful weekend in Turkey.
Verstappen is placed at the top of the 2021 Drivers' Championship standings and he is followed by the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Bottas respectively.
Norris remains fourth on the standings and he will be determined to move closer to Bottas by winning the United States Grand Prix.

“It was a very tricky race just because of the conditions, it made it very difficult," Norris said after the Turkish Grand Prix.
"How much to push on the tyres, how much not to, when to pit. It was just really up and down how the tyres go, because it almost went to a slick tyre, the intermediate.
“So it was just very difficult, very easy to make mistakes and go off and spin and so on. But a good day for us; P7 doesn’t sound good, but I think it was the best we could do.”
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
