Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz have different reactions after British Grand Prix
General
For Lando Norris, it was with a fifth-place finish at the British Grand Prix and again another good performance for the McLaren driver. Carlos Sainz had looked set for a good result as well but ended up in thirteenth place after suffering from a major tyre issue. The Spaniard had a flat tyre at the end of the race and saw fourth place slip through his fingers.
"I think it was just a very difficult race," said Norris to Sky Sports. "We didn't have the best pace today. Renault seemed to be faster than us. We weren't able to push the tyres the way we wanted. But after my pit stop, I ended up in a good place."
Sainz in a less good mood
Next to a satisfied Norris is a less happy looking Sainz.
"We knew it was going to be about the tyres and that turned out with the punctures. In general, I haven't been lucky for the first three or four weekends. Today we lost a lot of points. I am disappointed. I'm not going to lie about that."
Twelve World Championship points were on the table for the Spanish McLaren driver.
"Everything went well until the last two laps, so I can't be too hard on myself. We're making good progress as a team. The car feels a step forward compared to last year. We are struggling in the races and Renault will come back in qualifying, but today we should have finished in front of them."
