At Spa, Lando Norris admitted he was “not too proud” of his actions in the closing laps of the Hungarian Grand Prix…
Lando Norris: “Could it have been done differently, both from the team’s side and from my side? Absolutely. We wouldn’t be having this conversation now. People make up their own stories about what happened and what I did or didn’t do, I don’t care.
Unfortunately I overshadowed Oscar’s race win, his first win in Formula 1, and I regret that. After the finish almost nobody wrote about our winning double, all the headlines were just about the fact that I didn’t miss the Oscar, that’s what upset me.
In addition, we have discussed and discussed this point with the team. Both parties could do things a little better and a little differently. We have learned a good lesson and will draw conclusions.
What would I do differently now? I should have skipped the Oscars right away. It’s stupid that I didn’t, because the team allows us to fight freely on the track. I could have missed him and then tried to pass him. It sounds simple now, but at the time it didn’t occur to me.
I was driving at a high pace, at that moment everything was going well. I doubted if I would miss it, I doubted the team’s decision. When I was called to the pits for the first time I knew I would have to give up the position, I was just a bit stupid for not doing it earlier.
