Lando Norris opens up about "something I’ve not felt too proud about"
win last weekend was overshadowed by the intra-team drama after race leader Norris ignored demands from his team for several laps.Norris said at Spa, where Crash.net are in the paddock, that he should have “just let him past straight away”.
“But I was just in a good rhythm, and things were going well at the time. I questioned it at the time, questioned the team a few times. “And I think we wouldn’t be having this conversation now in some ways. Whether people on the outside think and come up with their own stories of what happened, and what I would have done and wouldn’t have done... I don’t mind about that.
“Apart from that, we discussed it, we’ve spoken about it, both sides could have done things a bit better and a little bit differently.”Norris insisted he never planned to ignore the team order completely, and refuse to let Piastri past.“The longer I waited, just because it didn’t matter if I let him go straightaway or at the end necessarily, the longer I waited, the more people would have questioned whether I’d have done it or not. That’s the main thing.
