Lando Norris said he believed he deserved victory in the Spanish Grand Prix. However, the McLaren driver finished only third at the chequered flag after what was described as an ill-timed Virtual Safety Car.
Kimi Antonelli also backed that view after the race. Antonelli, who won the Spanish Grand Prix ahead of Norris, said his success came with bittersweet feelings because he felt Norris deserved to win.
Taken together, the two accounts show agreement from both drivers that Norris had merited the victory, even though the final result left Antonelli as the winner and Norris in third place.
