who passed away in 2023<\/a>, and said: \u201cIt was an amazing race and it\u2019s nice to win here in Brazil. It\u2019s an amazing track, amazing fans.<\/p>\n\u201cThis one was for Gil, one of my mentors growing up a couple of years ago. This one was for him \u2013 I\u2019m sure he\u2019d be very proud of it all. I was thinking of that while driving. A perfect weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Norris controlled the race to a high level, much of the attention was on Verstappen, who went from a pit lane start to challenging Antonelli for second place on the final lap and demonstrated that he can never be discounted in any battle.<\/p>\n
Norris admitted that the Red Bull driver\u2019s incredible performance has encouraged him to not rest on his laurels, hinting that it may be a greater sign of McLaren\u2019s consistent advantage over their rivals fading away.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great win, but to be honest, seeing how quick Max was today I\u2019m pretty disappointed that we weren\u2019t quicker,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat\u2019s where my mind\u2019s at at the minute. I\u2019m probably going to see the team, congratulate them and see where we weren\u2019t quick enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s me, we\u2019ll see what we can do. It\u2019s not a long way to go but I\u2019m just focused on myself \u2013 keep my head down, ignore everyone and keep pushing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team are doing an amazing job giving me a great car. We\u2019re pushing hard every single weekend and I\u2019m pushing hard away from the track. It\u2019s rewarding. It doesn\u2019t come easy, that\u2019s for sure. To be honest, I don\u2019t think we were the quickest out there on track today but I\u2019m glad to take home the win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris has admitted that he must \u201ckeep pushing\u201d despite increasing his points lead in the title fight,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-274429","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
