McLaren junior Lando Norris accepted that he “didn’t do a good enough job” after a “disaster” of a race that resulted in the youngster relinquishing the lead of the Formula 2 standings.

Norris had led the way in the championship since the season-opening race in Bahrain, preserving his advantage despite failing to add to his victory tally.

George Russell’s victory in the Austrian Feature Race reduced Norris’ advantage to just two points and the ART Grand Prix driver stormed from eighth to second in the Sprint Race.

Norris, meanwhile, slipped down to 11th position, allowing Russell to move 10 points clear.

“It was good to be on the Feature Race podium while the Sprint Race was a disaster, and that was my fault,” he said.

“I must have over-cooked the tyres and it was then just a spiraling effect in terms of no grip regards to traction, braking, everything.

“It was my mistake – I didn’t do a good enough job tyre saving.”

Looking ahead to this weekend’s Silverstone round, Norris said: “Generally I’ve gone pretty well there and my aim is to continue that in F2.

“Maggotts and Becketts is a tricky section but when you do nail it, it’s very satisfying.

“Overall it’s a fun track to drive with a lot of different types of corners. Generally, you can overtake especially when you’re close enough to use the DRS.

“Racing in front of a ’home’ crowd will make me want to do well but it won’t put any more pressure on me than racing anywhere else.”
