Palmer: Norris’s Sao Paulo win ranks among his best

Former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer says Lando Norris’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix victory belongs among the best wins of Norris’s career. He praised Norris and McLaren for managing changeable conditions that, Palmer said, offered many opportunities to slip up.

Palmer said winning in such conditions is as difficult as it gets. In his view, Norris and McLaren avoided the pitfalls and excelled in almost every test in Brazil. He also said qualifying was difficult for everyone: Q1 was particularly hazardous, with major aquaplaning in the early laps catching some less experienced drivers out.
