While the hit likely hurt Norris, it couldn't have been enough to bring him down. He achieved a lifelong dream on Sunday and opened up about how much the result meant to him.
"It's beautiful. Everything I dreamed of. Everything I've ever wanted to achieve. Apart from a championship, I think this is as good as it gets in terms of feelings and in terms of achievement, being proud, all of it," he said.
"This is where it all started for me, and now thankfully I've been able to have my go.
"Incredible race, stressful as always, but the support from the fans made the difference today, so I've got to thank them for it all.
"Your mind just goes pretty blank. Everything you might think before the race, you forget. The main thing is just don't f*** it up, that's rule number one."
Norris gets a couple of weeks to soak in the win, but he will need to refocus as he is squarely in a fight for the title with teammate Oscar Piastri.

9 best Prime Day streaming deals to get now — ridiculously good discounts on Prime Video, Apple TV, Paramount Plus and more
As a streaming writer, I spend a lot of time keeping up with what's new, what's worth watching and which platforms are actually delivering value. So when Prime Day hits and major streaming subscriptions drop their prices, I already know which ones are worth jumping on. Right now, some of the best streaming deals I've seen are already live, but only for a limited time. Apple TV Plus is down to just $4/month for two months (normally $9), Paramount Plus is just $0.99/month, and MGM Plus (home to some seriously underrated gems) is also under $1/month for your first two months. After that, each subscription returns to its regular monthly price, so this is a great chance to try out a few new services without the full commitment. If you've been thinking about expanding your watchlist without overloading your bank account, this is the time to do it. I've pulled together the nine best Prime Day streaming deals below — the ones I'd personally recommend to friends, family, and fellow binge-watchers alike. Amazon Prime membership: sign up for a 30-day free trialIf you're a subscriber, now's a pretty great time to explore new streaming options. Amazon has slashed the price of 29 channel add-ons (some are as cheap as 99 cents per month). Just a heads-up: the discounted rate only lasts for two months, after which the channels go back to their regular monthly prices. With Prime Day set for July 8–11, Amazon's already rolling out early deals like this. And of course, one of the best parts of a Prime membership is access to Prime Video. Amazon Prime membership for 18-24 year olds: get a 6-month free trial now MGM Plus is an absolute steal right now at just 99 cents a month for two months, making it the perfect time to jump in. With 'The Institute," based on the gripping Stephen King novel, premiering soon, there's never been a better excuse to sign up and start streaming. AMC Plus has another awesome deal you can't miss. 'The Walking Dead: Dead City' season 2 has officially landed, bringing more chaos and suspense to the post-apocalyptic universe. And if that's not enough, '28 Days Later' is also streaming, so whether you're into zombies, survival, or just great storytelling, this service is packed with reasons to hit play this summer. If you're craving cozy romances and feel-good stories, Hallmark Plus is a must-have especially with the current deal.

From 'Midsomer Murders' to 'Downton Abbey'-style gems, BritBox brings the crown jewels of British TV right to your screen. Apple TV Plus is seriously worth grabbing right now, especially with the current deal bringing the price way down. You'll get access to award-winning originals like 'Severance' and 'Ted Lasso,' plus exciting new releases dropping all summer. Even if you've never tried Apple's streaming service before, this is the perfect moment to dive in and see what the fuss is about. Cinemax is probably a service not many people have heard of, but it's actually packed with intense movies and gripping original series that I'm sure action fans love. With the current deal, it's easier than ever to check out shows like 'Warrior' and 'Banshee' or catch thrilling blockbuster movies. Cinemax might just be your next favorite streaming find. STARZ is one of the more underrated services, and I'm hoping this deal will get it onto more people's radars. It's home to some of the most binge-worthy originals and blockbusters out there. There are plenty of hits like 'Sweetpea,' 'Outlander,' and a huge movie library that includes Mark Wahlberg's latest action-thriller 'Flight Risk.'

With a huge catalog of hit shows, movies, and exclusive originals like 'Star Trek: Picard' and 'Yellowstone,' it offers incredible value.

Why is Wimbledon blaming human error for a mistake by its new electronic line-calling system?
LONDON -- The All England Club, somewhat ironically, is blaming 'human error' for a glaring mistake by the electronic system that replaced human line judges this year at Wimbledon. The CEO of the club, Sally Bolton, said Monday that the ball-tracking technology was "inadvertently deactivated" by someone for three points at Centre Court during Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's three-set victory over Sonay Kartal a day earlier in the fourth round. On one point, a shot by Kartal clearly landed past the baseline but wasn't called out by the automated setup — called Hawk-Eye — because it had been shut off. Bolton declined to say who made the mistake or how, exactly, it occurred or whether that person would face any consequences or be re-trained. She did note that there were other people at fault: the chair umpire, Nico Helwerth, and two who should have let him know the system was temporarily down — the review official and the Hawk-Eye official. 'We didn't need to put line judges back on the court again,' Bolton said. 'We needed the system to be active.' Not really. But like most big tennis tournaments nowadays — the French Open is one notable exception — Wimbledon has replaced its line judges with cameras that are supposed to follow the balls on every shot to determine whether they land in or out. There are those, particularly in the British media, who keep referring to this as part of the ever-increasing creep of AI into day-to-day life, but Bolton objected to the use of that term in this case. 'The point I would want to emphasize — and perhaps contrary to some of the reporting we've seen — is it's not an artificial intelligence system. And it is electronic in the sense that the camera-tracking technology is set up to call the lines automatically, but it requires a human element to ensure that the system is functional,' Bolton said. 'So it is not AI. There are some humans involved. And in this instance, it was a human error.' Russia's Pavlyuchenkova was one point from winning a game for a 5-4 lead in the first set against Britain's Kartal on Sunday when a shot by Kartal landed long. But there was no ruling from Hawk-Eye. After a delay, Helwerth decided the point should be replayed, which Pavlyuchenkova thought showed bias toward an opponent competing in her home country. With Hawk-Eye back up and running after a delay, Kartal won that game, but Pavlyuchenkova took that set and the match. The All England Club looked into what happened and found that the line-calling system actually was off for three points before anyone noticed. The system itself worked 'optimally,' Bolton said repeatedly. 'In this instance, sadly,' she said, 'it was the human part of the operation that made a mistake.' Bolton said the system is shut down between matches — 'and the humans are the people that need to do the activating and deactivating" — and someone accidentally did so during Pavlyuchenkova vs. Kartal. Asked why, Bolton responded: 'Well, I don't know. It was a mistake, obviously. ... I wasn't sat there, so I don't know what happened." She said Helwerth could have made a ruling himself on the controversial non-call, the way he did on the prior pair of points, but instead just decided to pause the match. 'I'm assuming,' Bolton said, 'he felt he had not seen it properly.' Pavlyuchenkova said after the match the official told her he thought the ball was out. Players are divided on whether there even should be electronic rulings during matches — unless it is fool-proof — or whether there should be a return to Wimbledon's old way of doing things. Since 2007 through last year, there was a combination of the human touch and technology: There were line judges on court to make calls, but players were allowed to challenge and ask for a video replay of a point if they thought there was a mistake. 'It's such a big match, big event,' Pavlyuchenkova said. 'Since we have already automatic line-calling and so much invested into this, we should probably look into something else to have better decisions.'
