Why Norris feels he had 'no chance' of snatching Singapore win
Lando Norris believes he had no chance of winning his first Formula 1 race at the Singapore Grand Prix, despite finishing just behind the winner Carlos Sainz. Norris praised Sainz for playing it smart and strategically slowing down to give him the DRS, which helped him stay ahead of George Russell. He was aware that attacking Sainz would make him vulnerable to the cars behind, and he credited their smart play for keeping the Mercedes drivers at bay. Norris admitted that the last few laps were stressful, and he and Sainz had to work together to create a gap and defend against Russell’s pressure. Despite hitting the wall and damaging his steering, Norris managed to cross the finish line in a perfectly executed race.
