Sky F1 viewers slam pundit's 'embarrassing' comment about Lando Norris immediately after Miami GP

Formula 1 fans watching the Miami Grand Prix on Sky Sports have criticised one pundit after comments made about Lando Norris.

McLaren star Norris endured a tough start to the Miami Grand Prix after he fell from second to sixth on the back of a battle with Max Verstappen during the opening lap.

Despite the early disappointment, the 25-year-old recovered well as he quickly got back up the pack and ended up finishing second behind teammate Oscar Piastri.

The win in Miami was Piastri's third in succession, meaning he now leads the standings by 16 points, with Norris second and Verstappen third.

After the race, former racing driver Danica Patrick, who competed in NASCAR and the IndyCar Series, was analysing the race as a pundit on Sky Sports.

The 43-year-old American said after hearing Norris' post-race thoughts: "I sense a bit of confidence out of him, there wasn't a lot of negative talk, he was just like 'It is what it is'.

"But also, he knows that it's not all there, it's not perfect, the car is not perfect. Things aren't perfect, but still he has a 1st, three 2nds, a 3rd and a 4th."

Reacting to Patrick's comments on social media, one fan said: "Man, what is she saying? ahahhaha BEST car by a large margin. Oscar was controlling the pace."

Another tweeted: "What was she talking about. They won by 33 seconds."

A third fan added: "She means the driver is not perfect, right? RIGHT! The car is perfect! 35 sec gap ain't perfect??? what??"

Someone else wrote: "Not perfect” but still finish 30 sec in front of 3rd place. I don’t understand the narrative that they are trying to push."

A fifth commented: "It’s embarrassing and just p***es the viewers off.


However, a few fans agreed with what Patrick had to say.

One said: "She's entirely correct, fastest does not mean perfect at all, and he's been struggling to extract the maximum out of it."

Another fan added: "Can’t believe ima say this but she’s not entirely wrong."

Norris himself admitted that he is now feeling more comfortable in the MCL39.

He said: "It's still been a very good weekend for me. I'm happy with my progress.

Advert

"I felt more comfortable in the car again. There's still things I need to make progress on. So just keep chipping away. It's been a positive weekend. Pace is very strong. Just these little things got in the way. But that happens."
