Start to the season beyond Norris' prediction

Lando Norris was able to drive a good race again after his podium place on the Red Bull Ring last week. He finished fifth in the Styrian Grand Prix and Norris is a very satisfied man.

"It was very enjoyable," Norris said. 

"The first stint I didn't like because we were in a DRS train and then we went much longer than anyone would have thought on the soft tyres - 45 laps. It shows what happens when you are in dirty air. I don't think it was bad. I decided to look after the tyres at the early stages.

"Carlos was the leader of the pack and managing things and I was in dirty air no matter where I went. The best thing that I could have done was look after my tyres. A great decision."

"Awesome first two weekends and I didn't expect it to go that way."
