Lando Norris has revealed why his Formula 1 race engineer made a rare intervention on the team radio before his pole lap for the United Stated Grand Prix.
Norris took a sixth pole of 2024 at the Circuit of the Americas thanks to narrowly beating title rival Max Verstappen after the first of two planned runs in the Q3 shootout. A late yellow flag for George Russell's crashed Mercedes prevented anyone else from setting another lap, denying Verstappen and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz a chance to snatch pole away from the McLaren driver.
