‘Spoilt’ Lando Norris insists lessons to learn after ’embarrassing’ incident
Lando Norris is determined to learn from his error at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where he dropped from first to third due to a mistake at the start. Despite starting from pole position, he entered the first corner too fast and fell behind Max Verstappen and George Russell. Although he regained a position later in the race, he couldn’t catch Verstappen, who claimed the victory. Unfortunately, Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri were disqualified for illegal plank wear, jeopardizing their standing in the F1 championship battle.
Prior to the disqualification, Norris acknowledged that a win was unlikely for him on his 150th F1 start. He expressed disappointment in himself for the mistake at Turn 1, stating that he needs to improve his performance and learn from it. Norris currently leads the standings by 24 points, but he is wary of the competition, particularly Verstappen, emphasizing the need to step up McLaren’s performance against Red Bull. McLaren’s double disqualification in Las Vegas was partly due to running the MCL39 too low to the ground, impacting their results.
