Lando Norris: It would have been better to do the pit stop earlier.

      Lando Norris missed the victory at Spa and regrets not changing tires a lap earlier...

      Question: Both races at Spa were won by the driver who started second. Lando, on Saturday you won the qualifying, but on Sunday you missed the victory... Lando Norris: I didn’t take the first turn optimally, so Oscar easily overtook me. However, thanks to slipstream and a good start, he would have surely overtaken me anyway.

      I’m not too disappointed. Of course, I’m upset to have finished second. On this circuit, first place isn’t the best position to start from. And I wasn’t fast enough in the first turn. I need to understand what I could have done better.

      Question: You said you didn’t handle the first turn optimally, but there was radio chatter about battery problems. Could that have affected you? Lando Norris: I don’t know. I need to discuss that with the team.

      Question: During the race, you were the only one to switch from intermediate tires to Hard, instead of Medium like everyone else. Did you decide to take a risk? Lando Norris: I wasn’t risking. The engineer asked if I wanted to take Hard tires, and I said ‘yes’. That’s all. I didn’t even know Oscar was on Mediums. It didn’t influence my decision. I understood that the Hard tires would last better through the race, but they are harder to warm up, and the first laps after the pit stop might be difficult. That’s how it turned out.

      In the final laps, I had better grip on the track, but I lost about eight or nine seconds just because I pitted second. Catching Oscar from that gap isn’t a bad achievement. I tried, but I was just a little short.

      Question: You pitted one lap after Oscar. Did you consider pitting on the same lap and just waiting for his car to serve its stop? Lando Norris: I should ask the team. During a double pit stop, you can lose a lot of time. I think, once we analyze the situation, we’ll be unhappy that I stayed longer on track on intermediate tires. Everyone should have pitted a lap earlier, but only Lewis did that. Then Oscar went, and only afterward did I.
