Lando Norris, racing for McLaren, clinched his first-ever Formula One victory by stunning world champion Max Verstappen at the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday. In his 110th race with McLaren, Norris outpaced Verstappen by more than seven seconds, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc coming in third. Charles Leclerc speaking after finishing third in the 2024 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix:
“It was very tricky at the start. Checo was on my inside. I didn’t get a very good start, as soon as I left, I had wheelspin. I saw Checo on the right but there was very little grip, so he locked up. I thought we would all crash but unfortunately for everybody we all got out of the first corner. Then it was all about trying to focus on ourselves. But today, again, we were missing a little bit of pace. We did our best but the timing of the Safety Car wasn’t great for us and we had the oldest tyres. But we managed everything quite well and P3 was the best we could do and we are satisfied with that.”
Here is the full interview of Charles Leclerc at the end of the race:
