Lando Norris suffered a serious blow to his F1 drivers’ title chances after finishing sixth at Interlagos.
Lando Norris believes Max Verstappen would have lapped him in the São Paulo Grand Prix if the Dutchman had started at the front. Norris started on pole but finished sixth due to a costly pitstop just before a red flag. Verstappen recovered from starting in 17th to win, extending his lead in the F1 drivers’ title. Norris acknowledged Verstappen’s superior pace and the impact of not pitting before the red flag. Despite struggles with pace, Norris led briefly and felt third place was realistic had there been no red flag. An off-track excursion and mistakes in the race contributed to his final position.
