Lando Norris Requests Replicating Schumacher's Win

Lando Norris wanted to win the British Grand Prix by driving through the pit lane as the race ended behind the safety car on Sunday.

Norris finished fourth and asked over team radio if he could win by diving into the pits on the final lap.

His race engineer Will Joseph responded that drivers are not allowed to win a race by crossing the finish line through the pit lane, a rule changed after Michael Schumacher's 1998 British Grand Prix win.

Lando Norris benefitted from late issues for Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen to move up the order.

Norris said considering how difficult the race was, finishing fourth was quite remarkable, and the team needs to improve the car's pace.

The British Grand Prix finished in anticlimactic circumstances behind the safety car after Max Verstappen's late spin into the gravel at Stowe.

Lando Norris had a poor start and the car wasn't very nice to drive, so they have to understand some things and improve.

The positive is the results, and that's really the only thing that matters at the end of the day, but the pace to get them was really not good.

And Lando Norris will look to take a big step forward in the next race.

The FIA tightened up the regulations after Schumacher's win to ensure a repeat could not happen again.

So Lando Norris will have to find another way to win, but for now, he's happy with his fourth-place finish on Sunday.

But the team knows they have a lot to improve, and they will work on it.

Lando Norris finished fourth on Sunday, and he will look to do better in the next race.
