Lando Norris admits to helping Oscar Piastri and makes a revelation

The Words of Lando Norris

The Sprint Race in Qatar ended in the sign of McLaren, which placed an excellent one-two with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who let his teammate pass him on the last lap. At the microphones of "Sky Sport F1", the British driver wanted to celebrate the splendid result obtained at the team level and expressed himself in no uncertain terms about the position swap with the Australian.

"We hit the one-two and maximized the points, so we achieved the day’s goal. The race pace was good but I could have pushed a bit more, but I wanted to give Oscar Piastri a hand by giving him the DRS to defend himself from George Russell" began the British driver.

"We were quite close with Oscar, it wasnè t so easy, but I had planned to do it already since Interlagos. The team had told me not to do it, but in the end I did it anyway" added McLaren’s No. 4.

"I am not here to win Sprints, I am here to win races and maybe a championship. This year didn’t go according to plan, but I did my best. Now we look forward to tomorrow. The race è was hard, my neck is not è happy. Tomorrow will be a tiring race: the track è much faster than last year. On a physical level è tough" concluded Lando Norris.
