Lando Norris: The leaders are just faster now.

Lando Norris: The leaders are just faster now.

      In Barcelona, Lando Norris finished third and is quite satisfied with the race results…

      Question: Lando, third place, excellent pace throughout the race. The qualifying was tough, but the race went just wonderfully, didn’t it?

      Lando Norris: Yes, everything is great. But first, I want to congratulate Lewis. It’s nice to see him back on the top of the podium – I’m really happy for you, my friend.

      Yes, the race was tough. I did everything to keep up with those guys, but they were just too fast. We were close, keeping the chance for a better result if something happened. I was a bit lucky with Antonelli's retirement, but overall I’m very satisfied, very happy for the team, very glad to be back on the podium. So it was a good day for us.

      Question: What do you lack for victory? What needs to change for you to win again?

      Lando Norris: A bit of everything. We have a strong team, we work well, we are progressing confidently, but those guys are just faster right now. We have to give them credit and acknowledge that we need to work better, put in more effort. Everyone in the team understands this – and they are doing their utmost. I’m sure we will achieve success again soon.

      Question: But this podium gave you some confidence?

      Lando Norris: A little bit. I didn’t expect everything to turn out this way… I couldn’t fight with Mercedes, but I was always close. I didn’t expect to be so close to George, as I was already losing about twelve seconds to him in the first stint. But we did everything right, made pit stops at the right laps, and in the end, we didn’t lose by much at the finish. That’s a good sign.

      Of course, I didn’t expect to get on the podium, so I’m very happy for myself and the team.
