“I was on a better tyre but I didn’t expect anything,” Norris🐈 told Sky Sports at Imola.

“We still had a tough fight. It was close 💖into Turn 1.

“I♉ lose time, through that, and he loses time. But it’s what we have to do, to battl꧙e for a championship.

“If you try to make someone happy, the other is unhappy. It’s the way it is. We h♑andled it well, a good job by the team.”

S💎ky analyst Anthony Davidson said: "I can't think of another time where they've ha𒁏d a fair fight, without team rules coming into play.

"For his confidence, this is a significant point [for Norris]. He proved to himself, to his team, and maybe to others who doubted his racing ꦗproweꦆss, that he can get it done."

Lando Norris pinpoints his weak area after Emilia-Romagna GP

Norris is now 13 points behi❀nd his teammate Piastri, who leads the F1 standings after the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Piastri’s three-race winning run was ended by Verstappen, but this enabled Norris to gain back some momentum i🦄n his garage.

However, N𝓀orris knows exactly where he is falling short.

“I am very happy with my Sundays. I have ཧbeen for the whole season. I feel that I am strong,” he explained.

“But my Saturdays ma🅰ke my life diffic🌜ult constantly.

“I always need to fight back, and take risks, with overtakes, and work harder than I need 🍌to.

“I am confident, happy, positive. But I’m not happyౠ with my performances in qualifying.

“I am working on them but it still takes time. ꧅I’ll keep working.”

Piastri has out-qualified N▨orris on four ou🐻t of six occasions in 2025.

I🅠t is a clear area for improvement for Norris ahead of next weeke༺nd’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix, as the season moves into its European section.

Norris also said after the Imola race: “Second was the best we could achieve. Max was fast, the Red Bull wa🌼s quick.

“We didn’t have an answer for them, even in the final s🅘tint.

“It was a long race. A lot of optionജs came… and went.

But I think second w🌺as the best we could do. I’m happy with that.

“Even if w📖e started on pole, Max was too quickඣ. Well done to them.”

Red Bull ⛎are 48 points behind McLaren, who lead the constructors’ champion♔ship.

Mercedꦆes split them, and are ﷺ32 points behind the leaders, despite not winning a race this year.
