'Norris cracks under pressure'

After failing to deliver Norris is often hard on himself, which Chandhok himself can understand.
"It's annoying for him because it was a weekend where he was ahead of Oscar but when it mattered most it didn't happen," he added.
Why didn't it happen? For the former F1 driver there's a clear explanation: "The cars are equal, they are equally talented and it's about delivering the lap under pressure."
