Norris: Self-criticism led to some of my best F1 races in 2023
In the 2023 Formula 1 season, Lando Norris finished sixth in the drivers’ standings, his joint best championship finish. He achieved seven podiums, a personal best. However, his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri managed to win a race in Qatar, one of the two non-Red Bull victories that season. Norris believed he could have secured pole positions and victories if not for qualifying errors. In Mexico, a late mistake in Q1 starting position forced him to start in 19th place, but he managed to charge back to fifth. Norris also lost a chance for pole in Abu Dhabi due to a mistake in the final sector of his last qualifying lap. Despite his self-critical attitude, Norris mentioned that his best performances often come after disappointment on Saturdays, allowing him to bounce back on Sundays. He acknowledged areas of improvement in his overall performance but highlighted his ability to overcome setbacks and deliver strong performances on race day.
