Lando Norris: Disappointing P6 in Brazil

Norris finished sixth in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Interlagos Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

The rain Sunday in Brazil was the biggest factor for all drivers, but it would prove to be a major problem for Norris. Despite the McLaren's clear pace advantage, it was mostly nullified in this slip-and-slide grand prix. Norris would start on pole but lose the lead on lap 1 to George Russell. He would ride P2 until pitting on lap 28, which would end up being ill-timed due to the virtual safety car for Franco Colapinto's crash. Both Alpine's as well as Max Verstappen would get the benefit of a better-timed pit stops and push Norris down to P4 by the red flag. An off-track excursion by Norris would put him down to seventh-place, but eventual P6 finish after gaining one of those spots back. He'll look to rebound next round out in Las Vegas.
