Lando Norris – 2024 Miami Grand Prix Interview

Lando Norris: “What a race. It has been a long time coming but we have finally managed to do it. I’m so happy for the whole team and what we have achieved together. We’ve had a few little setbacks across the weekend but today, we managed to put it all together.”
“The car was great, the strategy was perfect and I’m over the moon. I’m proud of everyone in this team today. I’ve always believed in them and they have always had faith in me and today, it really justified that.”
“A huge thank you to them for the hard work that they have put in to make this possible.”
Oscar Piastri – 2024 Miami Grand Prix Interview

Oscar Piastri: “A great day for the team but disappointing on my side. I feel like we did a lot of things right in the first half of the race but a few things didn’t go our way in the second half.”
“The car has felt the best it has been all year, so I don’t think that my result should take away from the performance of the rest of the team.”
“Well done to Lando and everyone at McLaren, the race was won on merit and today it’s a really promising look for what’s to come.”
Andrea Stella (Team Principal) – 2024 Miami Grand Prix Interview

“Victory today in Miami is meaningful for many reasons. First of all, for Lando and his first F1 win. I am happy from the bottom of our hearts for him. We have often said as soon as we give him winning material, he’s going to win and he did – in style.”
“Beyond that, it’s very important for the team and we have been on a journey for some time, after an incredible turnaround last year. We have kept momentum and today is another important step and hopefully that starting point for great success.”
“So, I am very happy for all the people at McLaren and I hope they enjoy this moment because I know how much work has gone into delivering these upgrades.”
“It is not just the design or just the manufacturing, it is an effort across every department at our factory and from the trackside team. This goes beyond the people at McLaren, it goes to our power unit partners and commercial partners who are vital to this success.”
“It is the teamwork in the widest possible sense. The car was very good this weekend and it’s worth noting, Oscar was in a very strong position to be on the podium as well as he drove a very good race.”
“Lastly, my final word is for Gil de Ferran to whom this victory is dedicated to by the whole team. Gil, this is for you.”
