Lando Norris says he was not stressed at the start of the season of the season and the gap he opened at the top of the driver’s championship. Norris finished second in the championship last season and was considered the best McLaren driver, but Piastri won three of the last four races and has a 10 -point advantage over the British pilot. “No worries at all. He does a good job and he deserves it. Nothing more than that. I don’t believe so much about the momentum,” said Norris, who won the opening of the season in Australia.
“No reason to worry. It’s the round six out of 24. I’m not going to say that forever, I know that I have to go to the Alcute and I have to get started a little. I do my best every week and every minute,” he added.
“Obviously, I made mistakes and I am not at the level I must be, but I think I can be at the level early,” he said.
Norris is back on the scene of his first F1 victory in Miami last year, and hopes that the vibrations of this success will help lift it.
“It’s a place that brings good memories. I dreamed when I was a child to win in F1 and standing on the higher step and I was able to do it here.
“There have been a lot that made me smile since I came back, and I plan to start again,” he said.
Australian Piastri says he likes to enter the race as a leader, but says that he is far too early to start thinking about the battle of the title.
“I really enjoyed it. Whenever you can spend a weekend and know that you have a very good chance of winning the race and if you do a job well enough, you will win the race, it’s always a great position to be,” he said.
“Winning races is what is exciting for the moment, I think that the head of the championship is pleasant but … I am very proud and satisfied with the work and the reasons why I direct the championship that the real fact that I direct,” he said.
“I think we have just done a very solid job all season,” he added.
