Norris: No regrets on McLaren’s "aggressive" F1 Saudi Arabian GP strategy call
“Lando Norris made a strategic decision to stay out during a safety car period in the Jeddah race but was ultimately overtaken by Max Verstappen after leading for a short while. Despite hoping for another safety car period to make a pitstop, the race continued without interruptions. Norris eventually finished eighth, admitting that the decision to stay out was a risk that didn’t pay off, but he appreciated the aggressive approach. Norris had to switch to soft tires earlier than planned to cover Lewis Hamilton’s move, which affected their overall strategy. He praised Ferrari rookie Oliver Bearman’s performance and acknowledged that the Ferrari car was strong. Although Norris escaped a penalty for a minor start line incident, he expressed satisfaction with the team’s efforts in executing their strategy.”
