Norris goes back to scene of greatest triumph in the USA

- By Daniel Moxon

LANDO NORRIS needs to stop seeking perfection as he heads back to the site of his maiden Formula One win.

The sport makes the first of its three trips to the USA this season for the Miami Grand Prix at the weekend.

It marks the first time Norris has entered a race as the most recent winner, having finally broken his duck in Florida last May on his 110th start.

Norris admitted he had lacked belief in his ability up to that point.

"It always puts a smile on my face. The joy, the relief... I'm a guy who has to kind of see something to believe it," he said of that day. "Did I ever go into [one] really believing I'm going to win? No.

"So that gave me a bit more of the belief, like 'Ok, I can win a race in F1, and I can beat Max'.

"Was I a bit lucky with the safety car and things? Yes but, at the end of the day, I won a race in F1."
