[Saba Sports News] Before the Belgian F1 Grand Prix this weekend, British driver Lando Norris said in an interview that his behavior of not giving way to his teammate Oscar Piastri was “stupid.” He added that the prolonged dialogue with his race engineer, Will Joseph, was “not something to be proud of,” which ultimately led to the team giving Norris the instruction to “do it now” instead of the previous instructions of “when convenient.” Norris admitted that his recent performance has improved, making him a major challenger to reigning champion Max Verstappen for the overall driver’s championship. In the face of personal achievements, he lost his composure and didn’t consider the honor of the team, which cast a shadow over Piastri’s first victory in an F1 race. After internal reflection within the team, lessons have been learned, and they hope to do better next time.
