There’s been races in the past when other people have been racing. We try to take it away from others.”

Norris acknowledged the tactical maneuver by Red Bull, calling it “the smart play by them.” Despite the lost point, he expressed no hard feelings towards Ricciardo, stating, “Happy for Daniel. That’s all.”
