Lando Norris display of overtaking prowess in Mexico has been compared to a classic performance.
Lando Norris was one of the stars of the Mexican Grand Prix, as the McLaren driver overtook his way to fifth place...twice!
But a poor restart for the second half of the race meant Norris fell back down to 14th and thus had to start his recovery once again – impressing even more as he wrong-footed Alex Albon, Daniel Ricciardo, George Russell and eased past teammate Oscar Piastri in a display of cooperation from the Australian.
While neither McLaren ended up on the podium as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finished second and third behind race winner Max Verstappen, Stella admitted to feeling some frustration about the fact that the MCL60, in Norris’ hands, was potentially one of the quickest packages on the grid.“But even the stint Lando did when he went on hards, because we wanted to elect a strategy that would give us as much clear as possible.
