's Lando Norris expressed disappointment after a turbulent Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend. Despite moments where victory seemed within grasp, he ultimately lost out to championship rivalMcLaren’s Lando Norris secured pole position, showcasing the MCL38's strong setup for the Grand Prix. Meanwhile, Verstappen, knocked out in Q2 and facing a five-place grid penalty, started from P17.
The situation positioned Verstappen right behind Esteban Ocon before he passed the Alpine driver and pulled a significant lead of a little more than 19 seconds at the chequered flag. Norris, who faced a major setback in his championship battle with Verstappen, chose to blame nobody but his luck. He told the“It's a silly rule that no one agrees with, but you'll always agree with it when it benefits you, you know. So, every driver has said they don’t agree with it and want it changed.
Norris acknowledged his mistakes but stressed there was little else he could do given the blistering pace of the Red Bull RB20, powered by a new Honda internal combustion engine. The British driver admitted that Verstappen would have lapped him had he started the race from the front row. He said: “Max was easily quicker than us and I think if he went from the front he probably would have lapped us. The pace was good, I think similar to George but the Red Bull was very fast today.
