McLaren could roll the dice more, admits Lando

LANDO Norris admits he may need to be more demanding of his McLaren team and take more risks in his bid to land a first world championship.

The British driver finished second to Max Verstappen at the Japanese Grand Prix last weekend after pitting on the same lap as the race leader.

That led to suggestions that McLaren, with Oscar Piastri pitting a lap earlier in third, could have played a better strategy game to allow Norris to jump Verstappen.

Norris says there was no decision that would have been a guarantee of taking the lead but acknowledged there are moments where he would like to roll the dice more.

"Of course we were not happy after last weekend - we were happy because we had second and third, a great result as a team still," he said.
