However, a bold strategy, opting for one less pit stop than his rivals, led him to lead the race.\n\nIn an electrifying finish, Norris defended his position from the relentless Piastri, who was inches away from colliding with his teammate in a desperate attempt for victory on the penultimate lap.\n\nNorris, with nerves of steel, secured his fifth victory of the season, the third in the last four races, crossing the finish line with a minimal lead of six tenths of a second. This victory reduced the gap in the championship to nine points, with ten races remaining.\n\nMax Verstappen, who finished ninth, remains in third position in the standings, 97 points behind the leader.\n\nI’m exhausted. Oscar was catching me in the last stretch and I was pushing to the max. My voice is a bit gone.\n\nNorris acknowledged that the fight with Piastri will be arduous and will likely extend until the end of the season. He also admitted that, despite the good results, Piastri is not making it easy for him, and that he must improve certain aspects to optimize his performance.\n\n
\"Lando
Lando Norris ha conseguido nueve victorias en su carrera, cinco esta temporada.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nNorris’s victory before the summer break revitalizes his ambition to conquer his first world title. However, his triumph was not without challenges.\n\nIn the exit, Norris couldn’t hold the position and was overtaken by George Russell and Fernando Alonso.\n\nIn lap 3, Norris managed to overtake Alonso, but was held up by Russell.\n\nPiastri and Charles Leclerc, who led the first part of the race, entered the pits to change tires, which propelled Norris into first place.\n\n
\"Video<\/figure>\n\nMcLaren considered a one-stop strategy. Norris’ race engineer, Will Joseph, asked him on the radio: “Lando, 40 laps on the hard tire, are you in?” Norris responded affirmatively.\n\nIn lap 31, Norris made his only pit stop, setting fast laps. A mistake exiting a chicane, where he went onto the gravel, generated a warning from his engineer.\n\nLeclerc, Piastri, and Russell were forced to pit again. After the adjustments, Norris was leading with a seven-second advantage over Leclerc and five over Piastri.\n\nPiastri overtook Leclerc on lap 51 and began to close the gap to Norris.\n\nWith five laps to go, Piastri was a second behind his teammate, and on the penultimate lap, he attempted a risky overtake. However, Norris kept his cool and secured a crucial victory in his fight for the championship.\n\nRussell completed the podium, while Leclerc finished fourth. The next race will be held in the Netherlands on August 31.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
