The racer of Formula 1 team McLaren Lando Norris commented on his performance at the fourth stage of the races in Japan.
The Briton took fifth place, down two lines in comparison with qualifying. The podium places were respectively taken by Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz.
British Sky Sports quotes the racer as saying:
Lando Norris
We saw throughout the race that there wasn't enough pace in the car. That's fair enough... It doesn't feel great when you start third and just kind of go backwards and kind of feel like you're just fighting a bit of a losing battle against these guys. They can just do a lot more, you know. It's hard to fight on a track like this, but we gave it a good shot.
The next round of Formula 1 will be held from April 19 to 21 in China. Norris is fifth in the overall drivers' standings after four races.
