McLaren driver declared this was a classification “It’s very stressful.” Both possibilities failed because the conditions were slippery, especially in the third sector, and Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri didn’t know if there was someone behind him who could set a better lap.

Norris detailed that he felt the first two sectors were “good” from the car’s point of view, but regretted that the last part of the route was “very slippery” and difficult to control. “If you touch the piano a little bit, the car will go in a different direction.”But it was enough to take first place.

Britain guaranteed that it was done “One of his best drives.” They have learned how to adapt to the unprecedented wet conditions in the history of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and are “taking it one step at a time” to minimize the feeling that they “could hit the wall after Q1”.

Looking ahead to the race, he said there was no doubt it would be “interesting” as it would be a battle between Max Verstappen and class runner-up Carlos Sainz, and urged him to “enjoy it” in order to bring out the maximum potential of the McLaren.
