Lando Norris ‘gutted’ after crucial ‘no excuse’ error denies McLaren F1 Miami GP victory
Lando Norris stated McLaren didn’t provide him with a “fighting chance” to beat Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, despite his strong performance over the weekend.
Managing to secure Sprint Pole, a race win, and finishing second to Antonelli in the 57-lap race, Norris expressed disappointment due to McLaren’s strategy mistake that hindered his chances of victory.
Although initially leading Antonelli in the race, Norris was undercut during a pit stop by Mercedes, which eventually cost him the win.
Reflecting on the missed opportunity, Norris acknowledged the superior pace of Antonelli and the strategic error that put him at a disadvantage.
As he prepares for the Canadian GP, Norris sits in fourth place in the drivers’ standings, trailing the championship leader, Antonelli, by 49 points.
