Lando Norris believes his maiden F1 win was a 'long time coming' after he won the Miami Grand Prix. After 110 Grand Prix, Norris finally stood on the top step of an F1 podium on Sunday to become the 21st British driver to win a race. The 24-year-old capitalised on a timely Safety Car to lead Max Verstappen with 25 laps to go and held his nerve to become F1's 114th different race winner.
'I was a long way back but knew there could have been opportunities. Hard work turned into luck. It wasn't just luck. Things were going well and that little extra thing helped me out. 'As soon as the Safety Car came out I wasn't like 'Max is going to have me here'. I was confident. 'I didn't do the best of jobs on the restart. I defended into Turn One and from that point on it was fairly straightforward.
