Norris feels his strategy in Mexico GP was a 'mistake' and cost him 30-40 seconds relative to McLaren F1 teammate Ricciardo.
“[I lost] just two places in the beginning, obviously, both to Alpines, which is the main thing,” he explained when asked by Motorsport.com about his start. “Just one off the line and then one around the first few corners, which is just a bit unlucky sometimes.Norris made it clear that he did not get to run the strategy that he had hoped to use, estimating that Ricciardo's strategy was worth over 30 seconds over his own.
“So maybe a bit of a mistake there to do that. But Daniel did what I wanted to do, which was to stay out and then go onto the soft, which was like, 30-40 seconds quicker in terms of race time. Regarding the general lack of grip, he said:"I mean, that's just what we have to deal with. Yeah, we made a mistake going onto the hard tyre. You don't have to use it, we chose to. That's life.”Photo by: Sam Bloxham /Norris is unsure about the team’s potential form in Brazil as the battle with Alpine over fourth in the constructors' title continues.
“It makes me happy that we're closing the gap," he said."But we're working hard. So I feel like we deserve to be getting what we're getting at the end of the day. But it means we still have to work extremely hard to beat them over the next two races.
