Lando Norris has been close – several times. So many times that he has been jokingly called “Lando Nowins”. But at Miami’s Grand Prix, the 24-year-old broke the victory drought.
It looked as usual that Red Bull’s Max Verstappen would win the race. After about half the race, a safety car collected the field after a collision. A situation that Norris took advantage of.
The Brit took over the top position after the restart and held the lead all the way to the finish line.
– I love you all. Thank you very much, we did it, Norris was heard shouting on the team radio in Viaplay’s broadcast.
The first victory of the 24-year-old’s career is, to say the least, long-awaited. 15 podium places, of which eight second places, have been since the F1 debut in 2019.
– It was about time. What a race. Finally I have managed to do it. I am overjoyed, he says after the competition in Viaplay’s broadcast.
