Norris: Not pitting under the safety car "may have been the wrong decision"
Lando Norris didn't complete the German Grand Prix. It wasn't because of the slippy conditions, but a mechanical failure. The McLaren driver feels points were possible had the failure not occurred.
"I got ahead of the Toro Rosso immediately after that stop on the back straight. Things were looking good but then the car lost power. It’s a shame as points were definitely possible in what was a manic race," the Brit said.
Norris, who had his first Formula 1 experience in the rain, admitted the start of the race was tricky. He also wishes the team had pitted under the safety car, perhaps a lesson learnt for another day.
“The start was tricky because of poor visibility and it was still very slippery even on Wets. Everything was going okay, making up some positions here and there when we didn’t box under the first Safety Car, which in hindsight may have been the wrong decision," Norris added.
