Lando Norris is confident teammate Oscar Piastri will bounce back from his crash in second practice for the Dutch Grand Prix but insisted it’s not his responsibility to give him advice.
Piastri had shown impressive pace up until that point, gapping Norris by a couple of tenths on the harder rubber.
In Piastri’s absence, Norris enjoyed a strong session, ultimately topping the timesheets in FP2 ahead of reigning world championWhen asked about whether Piastri can ‘shake off’ the shunt in second practice, Norris said: “He can do it himself. It’s not up to me, I’m not the one driving his car.Reflecting on the day from his own perspective, Norris was naturally encouraged by the pace McLaren showed at Zandvoort.“A good day for us,” he said. “It’s nice to be back, good to be back in the car.
“But a good day for us. We sacrificed quite a bit of FP1 to do a lot of aero running so we were a little bit behind on kind of learning and trying and testing some things, but valuable stuff for the future.
