Lando Norris has admitted he often is made to look silly with comments he makes over team radio, following a tense exchange with his engineer at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver expressed his disapproval of his team’s decision not to initially pit for intermediate tyres as early rain fell during last weekend’s race at Zandvoort.When Norris did eventually switch to inters, it was too late. The Briton tumbled down the order and missed an opportunity to potentially finish on the podium, having started second.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, Norris acknowledged he is guilty of letting his emotions get the better of him. “When you look at it after, I always make myself look like an idiot and I get that, but the people that I speak to know that I never mean something like that of course.“We made some mistakes with our calls and our strategy and things like that. A bit of it was just emotions at the time. I always sound like I’m crying or moaning on the radio but I don’t know why. I hate it.
