Speaking about retirement, Norris said,"I don't know what the actual issue was, the engine just shut off and that was it. I think it was pretty instant. It's not my fault, nothing I can really do. Just not my weekend, a little bit unlucky yesterday with the wind and unlucky today." (via Motorsport)“It's a tough one, of course it's frustrating, it hurts a bit for sure in a championship point of view. It's a lot of points to lose so quickly and so easily. Nothing I can control, so I just take it on the chin and move on."Lando Norris was the fastest driver through all three practice sessions at Zandvoort and narrowly missed out on pole position, which then put him in a fight with Max Verstappen during the initial laps. Norris was never able to get past his teammate during the race.
