Norris gives message to critics after podium: 'Happy to prove people wrong'

"[It was a] tough race, especially with Checo catching at the end but he didn't have enough pace to catch up, I'm happy, [I] had to fight at the start," Norris told Nico Rosberg after the race, "[I] got screwed over at turn one but another podium for us is amazing."

When questioned about if a win is on the cards soon, the Brit gave a humourous response, saying: "If Max retires, maybe! The guys are too quick unless they make mistakes or something happens. At the minute, we're happy with the progress we've made, sometimes struggling to get out of Q1 to now fighting for poles and podiums. We'll take it for now and our time will come later in the year."

To finish, Norris gave his praise to the team back in the UK and how the work has shut some of the critics up: "A lot of hard work, everyone at the factory did an amazing job. We looked pretty poor and got a lot of abuse saying we weren't doing a good enough job, happy to prove people wrong."
