Max Verstappen recently shared his thoughts on Lando Norris' "luck, not talent" comment that he made back in the Brazilian GP. Verstappen explained that Norris said that in the heat of the moment and did not mean it.
The 2024 F1 Brazilian GP was pivotal for the drivers' championship. Lando Norris managed to bag pole position for the race while Verstappen ended up in P17 after a grid penalty for an engine part change. However, the extremely wet conditions during the race turned the tide for both drivers.
Lando Norris lost several places and finished P6, while Max Verstappen and Red Bull raced hard and pitted at the right moments to win the race from P17. Following the race, Lando Norris was interviewed about the race. The McLaren driver said that the strategies made by Red Bull and Verstappen were just by luck and did not have any talent.
