Norris: “Carlos has been very generous”
Lando Norris finished second in the Singapore Grand Prix, driving his McLaren and benefiting from the innovative strategy of the Ferrari driver.
If he had won the Singapore Grand Prix, would Lando Norris have had an even bigger smile than this Sunday? The British driver was beaming with joy after securing second place in the Singapore Grand Prix at the end of a thrilling race.
« “It was a big race,” he acknowledged before joining the podium. With his typical British humor, Norris expressed his gratitude towards his competitor. « “Carlos was very generous to offer me the DRS, it helped me in my race! I’m so happy!” ».
Indeed, starting from the fifty-eighth lap, Sainz had slowed down enough for Norris to activate the DRS… in order to block Russell and Hamilton. A risky but very effective and profitable strategy indeed. Norris had managed to hold off the attacks from his two compatriots on the fifty-ninth and sixtieth laps. On the sixty-second lap, Russell went straight ahead. « I also hit the wall, Norris sympathized, George was the fastest. »
Between the sparks from the flat-bottomed cars, the fireworks celebrating the arrival, and the glitter on his helmet, everything was shining for Lando Norris this Sunday.
The English driver, who was clearly very sportsmanlike, wanted to congratulate the other competitors. « “Congratulations to Carlos, to Charles, to Lewis,” he said. » And he promised himself not to stop there: « “I am ready to do it again,” he affirmed confidently.
