Lando Norris elected driver of the day in Russia
The McLaren driver, who came very close to his first Formula 1 victory, was awarded the title of driver of the day after his fantastic race.
This reward will surely not allow him to digest his disappointment of the day. This Sunday, Lando Norris came very close to his first Formula 1 victory. That was without counting on the rain, which showed up in the Sochi Olympic Park in the last laps of the race. Not having stopped at the pits to change tires, the Briton saw his first success slip away after this strategic mistake. The Englishman finally finished in 7th place.
Nevertheless, the McLaren driver impressed throughout the weekend, first securing his first pole position in F1, before leading the race for many laps and holding off Lewis Hamilton before the rain hit the track.
