McLaren stand by their decision to pit Lando Norris just before a red flag came out - which partly ruined his race.
at the start, both drivers lost out when they stopped for fresh intermediate tyres just as a Virtual Safety Car ended. A red flag a few laps later hampered them further, enabling those who had not pitted - including Verstappen - to make a free tyre change.
“We have to say that some of the positions we lost with the red flag, we felt it was the right thing to pit when so much water was coming. And we don’t regret that. “It was important to stay in the race. If we look at the constructors’ championship, it’s important that we out-score Ferrari and this sets the situation strongly for the final part of the season.”
