Lando Norris achieved his first victory in Formula 1 since joining McLaren in 2019. He previously held the record for most podiums without a win in races. Norris took advantage of a Safety Car situation to take the lead in the race. His former teammate acknowledged the role of luck in his triumph.
During the race, Norris took the lead after an incident involving Logan Sargeant and Kevin Magnussen. The position of the Safety Car worked in Norris’s favor, allowing him to secure the victory. This highlights the element of luck that often comes into play in Formula 1.
Carlos Sainz, however, emphasized that Norris had been performing exceptionally well in previous races. Despite the luck involved, Sainz believed Norris deserved the win. Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur also recognized Norris’s strong performance as a contributing factor to his victory.
Sainz also noted that it was about time for Norris to secure a Formula 1 victory. Norris had come close to winning a Grand Prix earlier in the season, but lost control in wet track conditions. Sainz highlighted the importance of luck for drivers who do not have the best car on the grid.
Lando Norris’s victory in the Miami Grand Prix was partially attributed to luck with the Safety Car. However, he also demonstrated his skills in maintaining the lead and holding off Max Verstappen.
