Norris: At Imola, everyone had problems with tires.

      Having started fourth, Lando Norris finished second in Imola and is pleased with the results of the race.…

      Q: Lando, were you hoping to finish second before the start?Lando Norris: I think this is the best result we could have achieved. I didn't expect the Red Bull car to be so fast in Imola. I'm happy with the second place. I started fourth and had a good race, but Max was too fast. We had a good chase!

      Question: We saw how you fought your way up. Where was the MCL39 particularly fast on the track?Lando Norris: I don't know. To be honest, I didn't feel good anywhere. So it's hard to say. It's just a very bumpy track. There are a lot of high-speed corners where we are inferior to Red Bull. We've been suffering from high-speed corners all season, and we need to work in this area. We may have lost more from them this weekend than before, and they may have made progress on the car. That's the price we pay for not being fast enough.

       Q: There will be no high-speed turns in Monaco next week. How confident are you going to the principality?Lando Norris: To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm pretty sure.

      Q: Before the restart on lap 54, did you talk to the team about how you and Oscar would fight Max in the final laps?Lando Norris: No.

      Q: Tell us about the fight against Oscar…Lando Norris: I was driving on fresher tires, so I had the advantage. Thanks to the DRS, I got through the last couple of turns well. I knew that I would have more than one chance, then I bypassed him and immediately broke away. It was obvious that he had tire problems, of which everyone had enough this weekend.
