Race report
Here’s Giles Richards’ verdict from Imola. If the famous circuit is dropped from the calendar next year, this was a decent way to go out. Thanks for joining me, for now it’s arrivederci.
Does Lando Norris agree? He’s talking to Sky now. “Content? I think so. Second was probably the best we could achieve today. A long race, a lot of options that came and went. Max was too quick for us, even though we were on pole.
On resuming after the safety car: “I was on the better tyres but I didn’t expect anything – we lost time, but it’s what you have to do if you’re battling for a championship. If one gets their way, the other is unhappy.” It’s a diplomatic answer.
