OR McLaren dominated the Interlagos Sprint Race, with the British team doing the 1-2 and help Lando Norris get the win and close the points gap with Max Verstappen in the title hunt!
With two laps to go in the sprint mini-race, Oscar Piastri gave way to his teammate at the behest of the team, with the Australian driver eventually finishing in 2nd place.
With his statements after the match, Norris, in a… chivalrous move, stated that he did not feel proud of his victory, thanking Piastri for his help, while emphasizing that he was who deserved the win!
What Lando Norris said in detail:
“I’m not proud of my victory, but we worked well as a team. Thanks Oscar, he deserved the win. We got the result we wanted, we did what we had to do. We have a very good pace, I’m looking forward to qualifying and tomorrow’s race.
I would get close, then the gap would open, then I would get close again. Dirty air behind another car costs you a lot in time. I felt like I was faster, but at that point in time I couldn’t pass him. We were clearly faster than the drivers following. We executed our plan well.”
