Lando Norris left ‘shouting and swearing’ in unseen Sergio Perez VSC dramaLando Norris admits he was “shouting and swearing” as a slow-moving Sergio Perez cost him ten seconds in race time under Virtual Safety Car conditions.
And during that VSC period, ultimate P2 finisher Norris found himself coming up behind Perez, travelling at a very slow speed, though Norris was unsure whether he could overtake the Red Bull driver or not.Footage of this incident was not picked up by the cameras at Suzuka, but Norris claimed that it cost him up to 10 seconds and left him very flustered in the McLaren cockpit.
“I mean, he must have had a problem. Right? But the thing is, you can’t overtake under VSC and it’s obvious the guy has a problem and I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know if he had a problem, whether he was just backing me up, I didn’t know and I couldn’t take the risk of just overtaking him.
“I was shouting in my helmet. I was swearing quite a bit, but I just got so confused. I didn’t know what I could do. I’m losing time to Max, the Ferrari guys I think 1.4 seconds behind me after being I think 12 or 13. So I lost 10 seconds. And it’s just I didn’t know what I could do at the time.
