Spa First Turn Fiasco Derails Norris' Strategy

Norris’ Sound Strategy Ruined at Spa’s First Turn

28/07/2024

Despite a solid plan, Norris ends up sixth at Spa after a disastrous first corner.

Lando Norris finishes only 6th in the Belgian Grand Prix, despite McLaren F1 being the favourite alongside Red Bull.

While his teammate secured a podium spot, how does the British driver account for this underperformance?

“The strategy was sound. I believe that ultimately, the one who performed the most undercuts won the race.”

“There’s not much to say. I went wide in the first corner and it ruined my race. That’s it.”

“We did what we thought was best. In hindsight, the undercut appeared to be the superior approach.”

“I think the car’s pace was good. I could have been a bit more aggressive, but I was pleased otherwise.”

“I tried to overtake Max (Verstappen) but it was impossible with his top speed and the constant DRS trains.”

“Let me rest a bit after this race and I’ll see more clearly.”
