Lando Norris admitted that he was probably pushing too hard during his dominant victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, acknowledging that his aggressive driving led to two specific mistakes that almost damaged his car. Despite leading every lap and building a substantial lead over Max Verstappen, Norris lost time by locking up at Turn 14 and brushing the wall with his right rear at Turn 10. He confessed, “I was flat out, pushing too hard to open up a gap and secure a pit stop advantage for the end of the race.” Norris expressed the challenges he faced, especially on hard tires, struggling more than on mediums and finding it harder to manage the car with traffic towards the end of the stint. Despite hitting the wall and possible front wing damage, Norris believes his car was not significantly affected, attributing the incidents to pushing too hard and adjusting to changes in aerodynamics when encountering traffic. He credited his team and expressed gratitude for their support throughout the race.
