Norris's wet-weather skill shows again at Interlagos

Lando Norris won the wet-dry-wet Brazilian Grand Prix from pole position, a result that highlights his ability in changing conditions. Norris has four wins in rain-affected grands prix, and McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said that when the track is between dry and wet, Norris is one of the fastest drivers at finding the limit.

Stella said Norris is very sensitive to how much grip is available and adapts well to the balance of the car. The Brazilian win also came with some fortune, including George Russell being held up by Alex Albon on his final Q3 lap and early leader Kimi Antonelli struggling in the race.

Norris has not always been flawless in the wet, with incidents at Spa in 2021 and a difficult race from pole at Interlagos in 2024 noted in the discussion, though Stella attributed the latter's brake-locking problem more to the car than the driver.
