Lando Norris secured a thrilling maiden victory at the Miami Grand Prix, which was emotionally dedicated by McLaren Chief Zak Brown to the late Gil de Ferran. Brown's heartfelt tribute highlighted de Ferran's significant contributions to McLaren and motorsports.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown spoke amid the intense celebrations, reflecting on the exciting moment for Norris and the team. He explained to Sky Sports F1 pit lane reporter Ted Kravitz: “ not so good, they’re still not good. But what a drive. The car was great. I’ve got to thank everyone back at McLaren, and here. All the hard work paying off."Gil de Ferran, former McLaren sporting director and Indianapolis 500 winner, tragically passed away at 56 at the end of 2023.
"I know what kind of work is behind this. It's so deserved for the McLaren team. I hope everyone enjoys this moment. The race itself was fraught with challenges for drivers across the board. Starting from the pole position, Max Verstappen managed to keep his lead initially. Throughout the race, he struggled with vehicle handling, lamenting, “I can't get the car to turn, it's a disaster.
Norris’s strategy was brilliantly complemented by the impeccable timing of a safety car deployment, triggered by an incident involving Kevin Magnussen and Logan Sargeant. This interruption proved beneficial for Norris, who had just made a crucial pit stop, allowing him to extend his lead significantly after the race resumed.
