Lando Norris surprised by his podium finish at Imola
The Briton believes that with the performance of his McLaren, he is amazed to have made it to the podium at Imola.
It was a bit of a surprise podium. At Imola, Lando Norris was present on the podium alongside Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. The McLaren driver joined the Red Bull drivers after a somewhat surprising end to the race.
With a dominant Charles Leclerc at the beginning of the season and in search of his first world title, the Monegasque made a mistake while trying to overtake Sergio Perez. He went off the track, which benefited Lando Norris.
If the talent of the Brit is no longer to be proven, his presence was somewhat unexpected because the performances of his McLaren at the beginning of the year were mediocre. « There were some good highlights, I still don’t know how I managed to get a podium in Imola, it amazes me. With the car we have, it’s quite an achievement, so it still makes me smile now, but there are a lot of positive points », he assures.
Since that race in Emilia-Romagna, Daniel Ricciardo’s teammate has still not returned to the podium and does not seem to be capable, in a regular fashion, of getting back up there. However, he remains the flag bearer for the Woking team. With 76 points scored, he outshines his teammate who only adds up to 19 units.
