Behind the impregnable Ferrari and Red Bull, on the streets of the Principality there is him: Lando Norris. Qualifying for the Monaco GP rewarded the young English talent of McLaren with a well-deserved fifth place on the grid, still far from his optimal physical shape after the bad malaise that hit him seven days ago in Spain. The Bristol driver was the ‘first of the others’ in the Monegasque toboggan, managing to stay ahead of both the Mercedes and the Alpines. A position that, rain permitting, Norris would like at least to replicate in tomorrow’s race, when the points will be awarded.
“I am satisfied with today. I think this was the best we could get – commented the English driver – the car has been good all weekend and I think today we showed we got a lot out of the bike, doing some good laps. It wasn’t enough to stay ahead of the first two teams, but it was enough to stay ahead of everyone else. So I’m happy, but there is still work to be done tomorrow. The goal is to try to move forward if possible – but it will be difficult – so we will try to stay where we are as a minimum goal and get some good points.“, He concluded.
