The Briton understands that he should have been tougher at the start when defending the first corner.

McLaren driver Lando Norris once again failed to realize the pole position he won after qualifying for the US Grand Prix.

At the beginning of the race, due to a fight with Max Verstappen (Red Bull), he fell to fourth place.

After the race, the 24-year-old Briton admitted that he should not have given his opponent so much space and opportunity.

“I did the wrong thing in the first turn but it seemed to me that what happened at the end of the race was more on my side,” said Lando Motorsport.

“Other than that it was a good battle and I enjoyed it. We just didn’t finish the race as winners because I didn’t do enough work.”

“If I had defended better in the first corner and not rode like a puppet, then I would have been in the lead after the first corner and then we wouldn’t have had to talk about it.”

Despite the difficult moment, Norris praised his opponent, citing the conditions in which they fought.

“I think Max drove the car very well. It’s very hard to do what we do, and it’s hard when you’re driving side by side, you’re completely on one side of the track. It’s hard to guess where your brake marker is.”

“You’re faster than before because you’re using a battery, the tires are old, different bumps, lots of mud, fighting and fighting as much as we can… That’s why I respect our fight, it’s good. , fun and I think he’s polite.”
