Lando Norris facing jarring reality over irreversible McLaren mistake
Former F1 boss states that Lando Norris is still feeling the aftermath of his crash at the Canadian Grand Prix, where he collided with team-mate Oscar Piastri in June. Despite apologizing for the mistake, Norris lost valuable points in the championship battle. However, he bounced back by winning three of the next four races, including in Hungary before the summer break. Ex-Haas principal Guenther Steiner praised Norris’ performance in Hungary on the Red Flags Podcast, mentioning that they outsmarted Piastri. Steiner highlighted that if Norris had not made the error in Canada, he could have been leading the world championship. The costly mistake in Canada could impact Norris’ title race aspirations as he continues to narrow the gap with Piastri. Both drivers are expected to compete fiercely for the championship until the end of the season.
