McLaren has insisted the mistakes which derailed Lando Norris’ race in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix derived from the team’s F1 car being “unpredictable” to drive.
In Brazil, Norris started on pole position but fell to sixth as Verstappen won from 17th. He lost ground to Russell at the start and pitted at a wrong time, hurt by a red flag. Norris slid wide after the restart, losing positions, and struggled on the track afterward. McLaren’s boss blamed the challenging car for Norris’ errors, promising review and improvement. Despite mishaps, McLaren extended its championship lead without major damage, providing a positive outlook on the race.
