McLaren driver ends up chasing his distant title rival to the finish at Spa and adrift of the leaders, as a first-lap off proved costly
Lando Norris is targeting a 2024 Formula 1 summer break “reset” after “stupid' early errors prevented him from finishing higher than sixth in the Belgian Grand Prix. The McLaren driver had started fourth and was expected to challenge for victory in the race eventually won by Mercedes’ George Russell in a 1-2 for the Silver Arrows team.
It's just silly things. It's not even difficult stuff. “It's just... Turn 1, trying to stay out of trouble, trying to make sure there's a gap and not get hit, and then I put myself off the track. Just some stupid things. The pace is good, the team are doing an amazing job so I'm happy. “In a way I feel like I just don't want to take a break – I just want to continue because we're in good form. Even today I feel like the pace was very strong.
