Norris convinced McLaren ‘not miles away’ from Red Bull
McLaren achieved their first double podium since the 2021 Italian Grand Prix due to Sergio Perez starting from the back and getting involved in a collision. Lando Norris overtook his teammate Daniel Ricciardo at the start but lost positions due to a pit stop under the Virtual Safety Car and getting held up by Perez. However, Norris managed to catch up to Oscar Piastri and the team issued team orders for them to switch positions. Both Norris and Piastri held their positions until the end, securing second and third place respectively. Norris praised the team’s performance and the progress they have made throughout the season, while Piastri expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and his joy at achieving his first podium in Formula 1.
