Norris believes Russell should have won in Brazil. The McLaren driver spoke about sixth place at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
It`s all about losing position. The red flags allowed the rest of us to have a free pit stop, nothing more.
George [Russell] probably felt like he won today. He probably deserved to win today more than anyone else. But sometimes you are unlucky and the rules are against you.
Difficult day. I made a couple of mistakes that cost me time against George and Charles [Leclerc]. Nothing more. Difficult day. I did everything I could. I had a lot of good races, the time came when something went wrong for me.
[Regarding the possible violation of the starting procedure], I need to reconsider this point with the team, " Norris said.
Lando also commented on the decision to pit a little later, after he was asked to stop on lap 25:
I trust the team, I believe what they say, and they trust me.
We were just unlucky. I don`t care about hindsight. They [Red Bull] were lucky, nothing more. They were lucky with a rule that no one agrees with (we are talking about the ability to change tires during red flags - Sports``). They may have agreed with him, but in the past every pilot disagreed.
Today it played into their hands. It could have helped us if we had stayed on the track, but it`s stupid to think about it. We were just unlucky today, nothing more. Of course it`s frustrating. Max [Verstappen] drove well. He got a little lucky, but that`s life.
What happened at the Grand Prix in Brazil: how did Verstappen win from 17th in the rain carnage? ! How did Norris fail?
