Lando Norris won the Monaco Grand Prix after starting on pole position. After the race, he admitted there were a few tense moments that had him on his toes.
Norris won the race by three seconds after Max Verstappen decided to take his last pitstop of the race in the final laps.
Norris was never alone
After being asked if there was any drama happening to him during the race, Norris said, “No drama. There were definitely some more tense moments in the race when I needed to push, and Charles was never that far behind.”
“Especially at the end with Max ahead, there were some tense moments trying not to get too close to Max, otherwise that’s when Charles had opportunities. But we managed it well with the strategy.”
He continued, “It’s always hard to know what we could have done better. I'm sure we can review things and look back on it. But in the end, the result was the perfect one.”
Norris is now equal with his teammate Oscar Piastri for race wins once again, with them both having six.
“Tricky at times, with the amount of cars, there were big bunches of cars, so getting through them without making mistakes, without any silly things happening, was always the most nerve-wracking bit. Otherwise, I felt good.”
“I felt good with the tyres, with the management of tyres and stints and all of those things. I was happy.”
