Lando Norris admits it was a disappointing weekend for him and McLaren, as the team’s double-DNF hands Alpine the advantage in the Constructors’ Championship.
The Somerset driver came into the weekend with doubts about even racing, as he was plagued with an illness, but when he hopped into his MCL36, the pace on show surprised everyone.
He qualified in fourth on Friday, whilst Kevin Magnussen claimed his first pole position in F1 thanks to some rainy conditions, but wasn’t able to capitalise during the Sprint and finished in seventh.
