McLaren, Lando Norris admission: “A few too many risks.”
A triumphant victory, achieved però after some thrills.
Lando Norris dominated the Singapore Grand Prix, dealing an abysmal gap to a Max Verstappen left però dumbfounded at the end of the race to see one of his young colleague’s smears. In fact, the McLaren driver kissed the walls of the Marina Bay circuit twice, and on a third occasion è left the track during a lapped car. And the admission, at the end of the race, è that indeed some mistakes were avoidable.
"This race è was great, but maybe I took a few too many risks. Toward the middle of the race I had a couple of scares, but I think I was able to control the situation pretty well,” Norris said.
In any case, this McLaren è was outstanding, and it gave me a chance to push great".
Norris later admitted that perhaps it was just too much confidence in the strength of his McLaren that risked costing him dearly. "I wasn’t pushing the limits. On the contrary, sometimes it happens to relax too much – confessed the Englishman – Maybe that's what happened both times I touched the barriers. I can't really say what happened, the important thing is that the damage was not excessive".
Singapore, moreover, confirms itself as a grueling fixture on the Formula 1 calendar, and Norris certified this without mincing words: "From a physical point of view today reminded me of Qatar 2023. I feel a little dizzy now, but I am fine. Maybe I could have been more calm behind the wheel, it remains a great day for all of McLaren thanks to the fact that Oscar è also on the podium".
