So it wasn&#8217;t like I fought my way through after that, so I hung on well from that point onwards. My start was just very, very good off the line and I got two or three cars pretty much immediately, so that made my life much easier from that point onwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was fighting the car everywhere, to be honest, so it wasn&#8217;t a straightforward race, and I knew George would be catching like he did, especially at the end of the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was good fun. I was pleasantly surprised to be here today. But a good race, and good fighting &#8211; especially the first few laps with the Red Bull and Mercedes. You always have to judge and learn where their deployment works, where they&#8217;re fast and slow and how to counter them in these areas. But after then, I could counter that and pull away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block block-echobox\">\n<h2>Subscribe to our F1 Newsletter<\/h2>\n<div class=\"info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-info\" id=\"edit-info--2\">\n<p>Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"extra-info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-legal\" id=\"edit-legal--2\">\n<p>For more information see our Privacy Policy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>In this article<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">F1<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">2026<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">Great Britain<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">Lando Norris<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">McLaren<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block block-next-prev\">\n<div class=\"next-prev-pager contextual-region\">\n<div class=\"items\">\n<div class=\"item prev\">\n<h3>  Previous<\/h3>\n<div class=\"card card_default\">\n<div class=\"content\"> \u2018I knew it was coming\u2019 &#8211;

So it wasn&#8217;t like I fought my way through after that, so I hung on well from that point onwards. My start was just very, very good off the line and I got two or three cars pretty much immediately, so that made my life much easier from that point onwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was fighting the car everywhere, to be honest, so it wasn&#8217;t a straightforward race, and I knew George would be catching like he did, especially at the end of the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was good fun. I was pleasantly surprised to be here today. But a good race, and good fighting &#8211; especially the first few laps with the Red Bull and Mercedes. You always have to judge and learn where their deployment works, where they&#8217;re fast and slow and how to counter them in these areas.

I was pleasantly surprised to be here today. But a good race, and good fighting &#8211; especially the first few laps with the Red Bull and Mercedes.
