McLaren: Norris unlikely to beat Verstappen with better start in Brazil F1 sprint
After securing pole position in Saturday’s shootout, Lando Norris had a worse start off the grid compared to front-row starter Max Verstappen. Norris moved to the middle of the track, leaving an opportunity for Verstappen to pass him and take the lead. Verstappen then comfortably controlled the race, managing tire wear on the softs, ultimately winning with a four-second margin. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella believes that even if Norris had kept the lead on the opening lap, it would have been challenging to stay ahead of Verstappen. Stella also mentioned that Norris’ poor start still needs to be analyzed, but he commended Norris for not pushing Verstappen more aggressively towards the pitwall.
