Speaꦇking after th♛e race in Mexico, Stella heaped praise on Norris, declaring his drive as one of the “best” he’s ever seen.
“Well in fairness we were 🔜having exactly this conversation on the pit wall as his race en🙈gineer Will Joseph turned to me and said to me that’s one of the best of Lando. I said, ‘Will, that’s one of the best at all’.

“Overtaking, so many overtak🐻ings, in Mexico, where yesterday if you read the quotes everyone is saying it’s so difficult to overtake, while managing PU temperatures, having to do lift and coast. I’m just impressed. One of the best races for a driver that I’ve been part of, let’s say.
“Yeah, this race made me think of Valen✨cia 2012, where at the time we started 12th, we won the race.
“But this one… you know, on one side we are excited, having seen this kind of masterpiece, on the other side like Lando s𝕴aid on the in-lap, like, guys let’s do a good job on Saturday and we can fight for podiums, so you know the pace was there to fight for podiums.”
