McLaren boss Andrea Stella lauds Lando Norris after recovery with Fernando Alonso-Valencia 2012 comparison

Norris was knocked out in Q1 at t🅠he Autod♔romo Hermanos Rodriguez after making a mistake on his final lap.
This was compounded by an untimely yellow flag which meant heಌ couldn’t improve.
In the race, Norris found himself as low as 14th following the mid-race red flag but drove beautifully to finish fifth, with some daring overtakes on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.
Speaking after the race in Mexico, Stella🅰 heaped praise on Norris, declaring his drive as one of the “best” he’s ever seen.
“Well in fairness we were having exactly this co🍸nversation on the pit wall as his race engineer Will Joseph turned to me and said to me that’s one of the best of Lando. I said, ‘Will, that’s one of the best at all’.

“Overtaking, so many overtꦛakings, in Mexico, where yesterday if you read the quotes every🦂one is saying it’s so difficult to overtake, while managing PU temperatures, having to do lift and coast. I’m just impressed. One of the best races for a driver that I’ve been part of, let’s say.
“Yeah, this race 🎐made me think of Valencia 2012, where at the time we started 12th, we won the race.
“But this one… you know, on one side we are excited, having seen this kind of masterpiece, on the other side like Lando said on the in-lap, like, guy𓄧s let’s do a good job on Saturday and we can fight for podiums, so you know the pace was there t𒀰o fight for podiums.”
