Lando Norris’ Engineer Unveils the Strategy Behind Overcoming Race Day ‘Demons’ and Silencing Critics
Lando Norris' race engineer shares their strategy to "overcome obstacles"
"We shouldn't fixate on what others consider issues"
Lando Norris' race engineer has explained how they manage to handle outside pressures to achieve victory in grand prix races.
Norris delivered an outstanding performance to clinch victory at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, marking his third triumph of the season and narrowing the gap to Max Verstappen at the top of the drivers' standings.
Significantly in Singapore, Norris broke his streak of losing the lead on the first lap after starting from pole position.
However, Will Joseph, who has guided Norris throughout his ascent in Formula 1, emphasizes that they never concentrated on that undesirable milestone.
Joseph mentioned on the F1 Nation podcast that there was no need to talk about those matters.
"We discuss our strong points, review our driving performance from Friday, and identify potential opportunities."
"We shouldn't focus on issues that others claim exist if we don't perceive them ourselves."
“At the factory, we analyzed the race starts. We expected to uncover something significant. However, it turned out to be not as problematic as people were suggesting.”
"We focus on the aspects we can manage, and the outcomes reflect that."
He commented: "We managed to overcome some challenges."
“It's no longer true that we can't navigate the first corner or take the lead on the first lap.”
"We were in the lead from the beginning and executed everything perfectly."
The McLaren driver's near-flawless weekend in Singapore was marred only by a momentary brush with the barriers.
Joseph disclosed how those within McLaren's garage responded.
"When Lando mentioned that he collided with the wall, we followed our standard protocol to inspect everything," he stated.
"Your goal is to determine if there's a puncture or if the front wing has been damaged."
"If other parts are broken, there's little you can do. If the front wing is damaged, you can halt and replace it."
“You’re attempting to evaluate the situation rapidly.
"The extent of the damage did not warrant any action."
"When we pulled over, we had already determined that no adjustments were necessary for the front wing."
"Did it impact performance? To a minimal extent. Upon review, we noticed the data was slightly marred. There was some pressure loss. However, it was minor, in my opinion."
Joseph recapped Norris' victory in Singapore: "He performed excellently. From the very first lap, we maintained strong speed. Lando showed his impressive quickness."
“We attempted incremental improvements to enhance the car's speed. His performance has been outstanding.
"During the race, we discussed the possibility of two different outcomes. Early on, it became evident that we could accelerate and create a significant lead. Neither of us anticipated that the lead would be this substantial."
"We opened up a window for the Safety Car and then created an opportunity for a pit stop."
"The speed was incredible. We were amazed at how fast it was."

He has established a 62-point advantage over Lando Norris in the drivers' championship with only three races remaining.
Throughout the year, Red Bull and McLaren have been blaming each other for technical issues. However, Verstappen has now taken a clear lead in the championship battle.
His father, Jos, told Sky Germany that he demonstrated who the top performer is.
He found a strong drive after facing criticism from both journalists and drivers in England.
"He demonstrated his superiority. They believe they can disrupt his positive mindset, but it will simply enhance his performance."
"I am extremely pleased with his performance today. Everyone now knows who truly stands out as the best."
An elated Max jested with the British press following his victory in Brazil.
During the press conference, he joked, "Are there no members of the British media here?"
"Are they supposed to hurry to the airport, or are they unaware of the press conference location?"
Verstappen had faced inquiries and criticism about his aggressive driving style, following two penalties he received in the previous race in Mexico for incidents involving Norris.
Former Formula 1 driver Timo Glock mentioned to Sky Germany that Verstappen is now set to win the title.
"Indeed, it was definitely a statement of triumph," Glock remarked regarding his victory in Brazil.
"He has extended his advantage, and it is now evident to all that McLaren is no longer in the running for the championship."

Red Bull’s Internal Strife: Sergio Perez’s Future Hangs in the Balance Amidst Team Disagreements
Rumors of internal conflict regarding Sergio Perez's position; a temporary stand-in proposed
Is Sergio Perez's tenure at Red Bull in jeopardy?
There are reports of internal conflicts at Red Bull concerning Sergio Perez’s position on the race team.
According to F1-Insider, there is a disagreement between Christian Horner and Helmut Marko regarding the future of Perez.

According to the report, Horner aims to maintain confidence in the driver who isn't meeting expectations, whereas Marko supports the idea of letting the driver go.
Reports suggest that last week in Brazil, there was a specific plan in place which indicated that Perez might lose his position on the racing team if he failed to assist teammate Max Verstappen in his pursuit of the championship.
Red Bull had Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda ready to fill in for Perez, while Red Bull junior driver Isack Hadjar was swiftly moved up from Formula 2 to Formula 1.
While Perez finished in a modest 11th place at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Verstappen's impressive victory allowed him to widen his championship advantage over Lando Norris to 62 points, with just three races left in the season.
Earlier this year, Red Bull showed its confidence in Perez by signing a new contract with him that extends through 2025.
However, his performance has significantly declined since then, and his inability to score points has enabled McLaren and Ferrari to surpass Red Bull in the constructors’ championship standings.
Possible candidates to take on the role of Verstappen's teammate next season include Lawson, Tsunoda, and Franco Colapinto from the Williams team, potentially replacing Perez.

Navigating Turbulent Waters: Red Bull’s Delicate Balancing Act with Perez Amid Young Talent’s Rise
"Red Bull cautioned about unsettling the team dynamic if they decide to replace Sergio Perez. 'It's important not to disrupt the existing structure.'"
Red Bull has been informed that the possibility of finding a replacement for Sergio Perez is a sensitive matter.
The F1 constructors' champions, known for their harsh decisions, have decided to replace Daniel Ricciardo with Liam Lawson in their RB sister team this season.

However, they supported Perez at the halfway point when he was facing significant pressure to give up his position on the team.
Lawson being on the F1 grid gives him a chance to showcase his skills and potentially compete for Perez's spot in 2025.
Williams' driver Franco Colapinto is reportedly being considered for a switch to Red Bull.
Anthony Davidson mentioned on the Sky F1 podcast that Lawson needs to decisively outperform Yuki Tsunoda.
"He needs to impress Red Bull enough to instill the confidence they need to consider him as a possible replacement for Perez."
"It will require a lot of persuasion because he has proven his durability up to this point."
"He's a great partner for Max. Max likes having him around. Max knows what to expect from him."
"You want to avoid having someone disrupt the status quo. Red Bull is currently involved in a sensitive procedure."
"It's thrilling to see the emergence of Lawson, a young driver making his mark. The fact that Red Bull has young drivers ready to step up demonstrates the effectiveness of their development program."
"Consider other groups like Jean Eric Vergne, Sebastien Buemi, and Antonio Felix Da Costa, who have all achieved world champion status independently. This serves as evidence of its effectiveness."
"Do new F1 drivers receive sufficient time to prove themselves? That's another matter."
"Perhaps that aspect isn't handled as effectively."
"However, it's a challenging situation, as it's tough to be in their shoes with these exceptionally talented individuals ready to step in."
Perez has a contract for 2025, but his performance will continue to be closely examined.
During the middle of the year, his slump in performance enabled McLaren and Ferrari to surpass Red Bull in the constructors' standings.
For ten years, James worked as a sports reporter at Sky Sports, where he reported on a wide range of events including American sports, football, and Formula 1.

Alpine achieved a surprising yet outstanding outcome after having to navigate through some difficult times in their recent Formula 1 experiences.
"Mark Webber expressed his amazement to Channel 4, describing the situation as 'absolutely extraordinary.'"
In a lengthy season where teams like Haas, Red Bull's secondary team, and Aston Martin are competing in the middle of the pack, securing a significant result on those crucial days can greatly impact the standings in the championship.
"They have climbed to sixth place from seemingly out of nowhere."
"Their two seasoned and knowledgeable minds played a crucial role. They successfully accomplished the task."
"The vehicle appeared to be a good fit for them, and the team made accurate decisions."
"Having practical experience is crucial. Rules governing sports are also significant."
Alpine's team leader, Oliver Oakes, expressed his excitement, stating, "Ending the triple-header with both drivers on the podium is fantastic for the team. It's even more impressive considering the early start due to the rain delay!"
"Throughout the day, neither driver made any mistakes, despite the challenging conditions."
"Following the points earned during yesterday's Sprint race, the entire weekend has been exceptional for the team under various conditions. This success is a testament to the dedication and effort from everyone at Enstone and Viry over the last couple of months to enhance our performance on the track."
"This provides us with the drive we need to end the season on a high note."
Remarkably, Alpine is currently positioned just after McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and Aston Martin in the constructors' championship standings.
This season saw a significant shift with Flavio Briatore joining the team, following a year of substantial changes in their senior leadership.
They plan to develop their own engine program and are anticipated to collaborate with Mercedes in 2026 when the new rules come into effect.
In 2025, Alpine will introduce Jack Doohan to their team for his debut season, taking over the spot left by Ocon, who is moving

He broke his losing streak, taking a strong lead in the championship race and setting himself up for a fourth consecutive F1 title.
Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton hold the record for the most championships in history, each with seven titles.
"It's still some time before the world championship titles," said former F1 driver Timo Glock to Sky Germany.
"Regarding the skills needed for racing in the rain and the abilities of a race car driver, Max Verstappen can already be compared to Michael Schumacher."
"Max is exceptionally talented; his accomplishments during races are remarkable and unparalleled."
Helmut Marko from Red Bull commented, "He was in a league of his own."
"The passing moves were spectacular. I predicted earlier that he would end up on the podium, but the way he performed was so impressive that it changed everything once more."
The driver exhibits remarkable mastery over the vehicle, particularly in wet conditions, showing a unique ability to push the boundaries further than others.
Verstappen surpasses Schumacher's Record
Verstappen has surpassed a longstanding record previously held by Schumacher.
On the day of the Sao Paulo race, he marked his 896th straight day at the top of the F1 drivers' championship standings.
This surpassed the previously unrivaled success of the Ferrari icon.
In the history of Formula 1, just five drivers, including Verstappen, have managed to secure a grand prix victory after starting from 17th position or lower on the grid, out of 1,121 races.
Max Verstappen has the opportunity to secure his fourth championship title in Las Vegas. He currently holds a 62-point lead over Lando Norris.

McLaren’s Fumbled Decisions and Lack of ‘Championship Toughness’ Under Scrutiny as Title Hopes Fade
McLaren's decision-making has been described as "flawed," lacking the resilience and experience needed for racing and championship challenges.
According to Damon Hill, McLaren lacks the resilience required to be championship contenders, as their chances for the F1 title decreased in Brazil.
Starting from 17th position on the grid, Max Verstappen of Red Bull skillfully capitalized on the rainy weather to secure victory at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

He is currently leading Lando Norris by 62 points, with only three races left in the season.
The chaotic race in Sao Paulo seemed to be leaning in Norris' favor at one point.
Former Formula 1 champion Hill remarked to Sky Sports, "Imagine how different things might have turned out if the situation had been reversed."
"There was a moment when Max was trailing by 10 or 11 seconds from the race leader, while Lando was comfortably holding onto his points."
"This race was destined to be crucial. It's a chance that likely won't happen again."
"It is clear that he is feeling downhearted."
Norris faced difficulties during the race in Brazil due to a start that was called off, leading to him receiving a reprimand and a fine.
However, Hill observed, "I believe he didn't execute his second restart correctly."
"He provided a chance to Charles Leclerc, and it turned out to be unhelpful."
Naomi Schiff commented, “It seems like they have missed opportunities to score points. This isn't the first instance this season where this has happened.”
Neither the drivers nor the pit board have managed to get all their details in order together.
"Lando is an excellent driver, but he competes with the top talents globally."
"Max rarely makes errors, and the same goes for Red Bull. It's a difficult challenge."
"Lando seemed to leave space at the beginning. I'm not sure if he did this out of caution."
"The team made conservative choices during the race, likely because they were being cautious and didn't want to risk errors. However, this cautious approach ultimately worked against them."
Hill responded by saying, "They lack the resilience of seasoned competitors, the grit of champions, and the invulnerability of the best."
"That's what you have to become."
Throughout the season, there have been instances where they made mistakes. They will take the time to reflect deeply on these errors and return more resilient than before.
"Securing a championship title requires absolute precision, as the competitors are both fierce and persistent."
McLaren continues to hold the top spot in the constructors' championship, with Ferrari and Red Bull trailing behind.

Mercedes is preparing for a new chapter as Lewis Hamilton's departure seems imminent. The team appears eager to embrace a fresh start and embark on a new era.

After a victory at Silverstone this season, Hamilton has mostly experienced a challenging three-year period marked by Red Bull's dominance.
Last week in Brazil, Hamilton expressed his frustration with the W15 over team radio as he secured a 10th-place finish. He later confessed that he was eager for the season to conclude soon.
See this Instagram post from Crash.net – Formula 1 (@crashnetformula1), which has been shared by the account.
Tom Clarkson, the host of the F1 Nation podcast, commented on the challenging car from Mercedes: "When driven by Hamilton, it appeared almost impossible to control. However, George Russell was able to handle it effectively."
Alex Jacques responded, "It's quite unusual, and there's a lack of complete comprehension. This has been true throughout the triple-header."
"The improvements seem impressive, but once they're applied to the car, there's a noticeable mismatch in alignment, which is crucial when you're leading the pack."
This season, McLaren's enhancements have shown instant effectiveness once they were added to their vehicle.
Ferrari chose not to introduce any updates during the three consecutive races, and this strategy proved successful for them in both Austin and Mexico City.
"Mercedes is looking for solutions."
"Russell appeared powerful, yet when it was crucial, he was unable to overtake an Alpine."
You would have bet that Russell would find a way to overtake.
"It seems like the team is poised to start a new chapter, embracing a fresh beginning."
"It has been a remarkable period in Formula 1 history, distinct from anything experienced before."
"It seems that Lewis is in search of a fresh challenge, while Mercedes must progress to the subsequent phase."
Lewis Hamilton frequently expressed his dissatisfaction over the team radio, repeatedly voicing concerns about the car's performance and the bumpy conditions on the track.
"He is eager to join Ferrari, while Mercedes sets its sights on the year 2025."
Next season, Hamilton will begin his career with Ferrari at the age of 40, aiming to secure an unprecedented eighth Formula 1 championship.
He is set to create an ideal partnership alongside Charles Leclerc.
Mercedes, on the other hand, will continue with the exceptionally talented Kimi Antonelli partnering with Russell.

Toto Wolff’s Pragmatic Perspective on Lewis Hamilton’s Departure: A Necessary Transition for Mercedes’ Future
Toto Wolff offers a lukewarm perspective on Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes: "Everyone has an expiration date." Toto Wolff's genuine thoughts regarding Lewis Hamilton's departure from Mercedes have come to light.
Toto Wolff stated that Lewis Hamilton's choice to switch from Mercedes to Ferrari 'benefited' the team by sparing them from a potentially uncomfortable discussion regarding the future of the seven-time world champion.
In February, the surprising news of Hamilton's move for the 2025 F1 season was revealed, and fresh responses to this development have surfaced in Mercedes' latest behind-the-scenes book, 'Inside Mercedes F1: Life in the Fast Lane.'

The narrative of the book tracks the team's uneven performance during their 2023 season and the beginning of 2024.
The article discusses Hamilton's choice to move from Mercedes to Ferrari, mentioning that Wolff indicated they proposed a 1+1 contract to the seven-time world champion because of doubts about his ability to remain competitive as he approaches his 40s.
Wolff explained that the rationale behind signing a one-year contract with an additional optional year for Hamilton was intentional.
"In our sport, having a keen mental acuity is crucial, and I think everyone has a certain period where they are at their best."
"I need to consider the future generation, similar to how it's done in football. Coaches such as Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola foresaw this in the performances of their leading players. They introduced younger talents who would lead the team in the upcoming years."
Wolff acknowledged that because of when Hamilton made his decision, Mercedes was unable to enter talks with Lando Norris or Charles Leclerc. Both drivers anticipated the situation and secured new contracts with McLaren and Ferrari, respectively, before any negotiations could take place.
Wolff decided to elevate 18-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli to take Hamilton's place in 2025.
He mentioned that he was fully aware of the possibility of Lewis leaving. He expressed confusion about why Lewis would switch teams before it was clear how competitive they would be.
"I had no time to respond; I had to urgently contact our partners. This situation might have cost me the opportunity to negotiate with other drivers, such as Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, who had already signed contracts weeks before."
"I appreciate the circumstances," he adds. "It benefits us by preventing the awkward instance where we have to inform the sport's legendary driver that we wish to end things."

Christian Horner compared Verstappen's performance to that of Ayrton Senna during the 1993 European Grand Prix, highlighting it as one of Formula 1's most remarkable laps.
Former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber, who currently manages Oscar Piastri, was also highly impressed by Verstappen.
In an interview with Channel 4, Webber commented on whether the Sao Paulo Grand Prix was one of Verstappen's top performances, saying, "It's definitely among the best…"
"Very few individuals possessed the capability to execute the moves that he performed."
He appeared at ease. In the slower turns, he had excellent control and maneuvered the vehicle skillfully, maintaining a straight and tidy line.
"I believe I didn't witness him veer off course or make any wide turns throughout the entire race, which is quite remarkable."
"He has an impressive record of remarkable performances, but this particular one clearly declared, 'I am the world's greatest.'"
Webber went on to say, "Verstappen delivered an exceptional performance. He fought his way forward, overtaking his competitors one by one."
He was the sole individual who managed to seize the chance to make progress, while the rest faced difficulties in gaining traction.
"He was imaginative, courageous, and determined."
"Before the first red flag, they were already aware of his arrival. He encountered an obstacle prior to reaching the initial red signal."
"Red Bull took a gamble by deciding not to make a pit stop. Their strategy was also impressive."
Max Verstappen significantly extended his lead in the championship standings, now 62 points ahead of his competitor Lando Norris, who managed to secure only a sixth-place finish in the Brazilian race.
The 2024 Formula 1 season has three races left.

This decision marks the conclusion of his extensive relationship with Mercedes, as he has spent his entire Formula 1 career driving for the factory team or for McLaren, which used Mercedes engines.
Even though Hamilton has secured two wins this season, he has mostly faced challenges with Mercedes in 2024.
In qualifying sessions, George Russell has consistently had a strong advantage, but during the races, the two have been more evenly matched.
At the most recent race in Sao Paulo, Hamilton faced yet another challenging moment as the seven-time world champion had difficulties navigating the wet track conditions.
After finishing in 10th place and delivering a mysterious message over the radio, there were speculations that he might step away early, skipping the last three races to get ready for his transition to Ferrari.
Mercedes promptly dismissed this.
In an interview with Talksport, Horner was questioned regarding Hamilton's groundbreaking transfer.
"According to Horner, he is transitioning from a familiar setting where he has spent over a decade, which will mark a significant shift for him."
Charles Leclerc is also an incredibly speedy racer. Meanwhile, Ferrari appears to be gaining traction as a team. Undoubtedly, a driver with Lewis's caliber will consistently be a formidable opponent.
"He might be making a move at an opportune moment. Clearly, he's observed certain aspects that led him to switch teams, indicating his confidence in Ferrari's potential. It will be intriguing to watch how this decision unfolds."

As the last three races approach, the Mexican driver holds the eighth position in the championship standings.
He trails his teammate Max Verstappen by an incredible 242 points and has not secured a podium finish since the Chinese Grand Prix in April.
Due to Perez's recent performance struggles, Red Bull is heading towards their lowest finish in the F1 constructors' championship since 2019.
It comes as no shock that Perez's future is uncertain, as Red Bull has decided to allow Liam Lawson to participate in six races at VCARB to demonstrate his abilities.
During the most recent episode of the Formula for Success podcast, Jordan discussed what lies ahead for Perez at Red Bull.
He remarked, "How many opportunities has Perez been given so far?"
"Do you believe he will secure a position next year, David? Absolutely not. There's no possibility."
"He's a really great person. However, we understand that being a great person isn't enough to win Grand Prix races."
"Lawson is integral to the situation; he's like family there and is a fundamental part of the team. He is the one who deserves to be in that car."
Ex-Formula 1 racer David Coulthard believes that Perez's future is in jeopardy unless he improves his performance in the last three races.
Coulthard commented, "I have to say, I agree that Checo is a great person."
"He has achieved victory in a Grand Prix race. Both he and the team have shown great loyalty to one another."
"Unless the upcoming three races bring about a significant change that clearly indicates the problem lies solely with this car, the situation is unmistakably clear."

Franco Colapinto: The Unexpected Challenger Stirring Up Alpine’s 2025 F1 Line-up Plans
Franco Colapinto has surprisingly become a candidate for an F1 team that has already revealed its 2025 roster.
Franco Colapinto has unexpectedly become a candidate to potentially join the Alpine team for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Flavio Briatore, an advisor for Alpine, has shown interest in Colapinto, even though the team has already pledged their support to Jack Doohan.

According to the report, it appears that Flavio Briatore has reconsidered and is now interested in acquiring Argentine Franco Colapinto, 21, who has emerged as a standout performer this season, from his rivals.
Should the operation come to fruition, it would dash the hopes of Doohan Jr., who has held the position of a reserve player for the French team for some time.
In August, it was revealed that Doohan would be stepping in for Esteban Ocon at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Alpine and Briatore had aimed to attract Carlos Sainz, but he decided to sign with Williams instead.
Since stepping in for Logan Sargeant midway through the season, Colapinto has excelled in his F1 debut with Williams earlier this year.
Reports suggest that the Argentine has caught the attention of Red Bull, as Christian Horner has commended Colapinto for his smooth transition into Formula 1.
Red Bull might be looking into Colapinto as a possible candidate if they decide to eventually replace Sergio Perez.
Colapinto might end up joining either Red Bull, VCARB, or possibly Alpine.
Nonetheless, securing Colapinto for the upcoming year will require a substantial financial commitment from both teams.
As reported by the same source, Williams is asking for 20 million euros to secure Colapinto's signing.
Williams has secured Sainz and Alex Albon for the next few years, leaving no opportunity for Colapinto to join.
