A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Lando Norris could've won the Miami Grand Prix. Yet he didn't, mainly because of Max Verstappen. The Briton's verdict on the way the Dutchman races is in, and it is anything but good.
As far as him having to make his way up the order again, after his Lap 1 Turn 1 tussle with Verstappen Norris said after the race: "It was good fun. It was enjoyable. I never wanted to let Oscar get too far out of my sights. But, yes, I had to put up a good challenge in the first quarter/third of the race, trying to get past the Mercedes, trying to get past the Williams, trying to get past Max."
"Not an easy start for sure, but I made my way through reasonably quickly, I think. And like Oskar said, the car was very strong today, so that definitely helped in all of that."
'Verstappen ruined his own race, he's not racing very smart'
As far as the battles he had with Verstappen today, Norris is highly critical.

"It was fine. He's fighting hard, but it's up to him to do that. He's ruined his own race. He's not racing very smart. He probably could have finished third today and he didn't because of that. He's fighting hard, as is always expected. But that's the way it is."
