Lando Norris reckoned a second attempt to pass Max Verstappen in Formula 1's Brazilian Grand Prix was possible, but not worth the risk of compromising his race long-term.
Following a standing restart to the race thanks to a red-flag period, Norris resumed the race on the front foot and began to catch the leading Verstappen in those opening laps after fending off Lewis Hamilton into the first corner. Norris used the seventh lap to reel in Verstappen and had a small opportunity to pass into the first corner on the following lap, but Verstappen held the inside line through the Senna S.
At the same time, I was low on battery and if you overheat the tyres too much, too early, you can pay the price quite heavily. 'I tried, it wasn't worth a second attempt as much as I would have loved to. I think potentially could have done, it just wasn't worth the risk and potential consequence of being in the hands of Fernando and the people behind.
