Belgian Grand Prix: How Lando Norris lost out to Oscar Piastri
Piastri had lost his victory to Red Bull’s Sprint Race’s win to Max Verstappen and showed how difficult the driver to the pole to the end of the first round in SPA.
The Dutch crossed Piastri’yi Les Combes, and then kept McLaren away for 15 rounds, while Norris ranked third.
In Grand Prix, Piastri came second in front of Norris, and Piastri was thinking about the opportunity he had offered it since he lost at the pole the day before.
McLaren team boss Andrea Stella said: “This weekend, Oscar, if there was anything, it was a single mistake, their tours were not perfect.
“At the same time, after sprint qualification, ‘Yes, I’m in the polar position, but perhaps not the right place to be in the polar position’.
“And as a joke, yesterday, after the elimination, ‘This was not my best tour in the third quarter, but perhaps this, the best place to have the best tour of 3,’ he said.
Of course, Piastri led the Grand Prix, just as Verstappen did the day before.
Im I had a good escape in the first place, dedi he said, and then he tried to be as brave as possible through Eau Rouge, and he was quite close. After that, the tension did the rest for me.
“When I watched the ship back, he didn’t look as scary as he felt in the car. I knew I had to be very determined to shoot it.”
The skills and courage in which are included here should not be underestimated. Eau Rouge is what they call ‘easy straight’ – although the speeds are in the 180mph area, the car’s capabilities can be taken without lifting the gas butterfly.
It is not easy or flat in wet. A driver should choose how much speed he wants to get and predict whether it will be on his way.
Do it correctly, as Piastri does, and rewards are important. Do it wrong, carry a little too much speed, and every supreme accident awaits you on the most dangerous track in F1.
However, Norris could not build a gap on the end line of the ending line. Then Piastri made a mistake at La Source, who allowed Eau Rouge to approach Eau Rouge at his tail.
“I didn’t have the best tour,” Norris said. “So it’s hard to know how much it plays. It also came very easy from me. So even if it was a better transformation, the run and slip flow would probably take me.”
Stella said: “It would be very difficult to ensure that Lando’s first start to restart the safety car.
