McLaren driver Lando Norris is willing to contend in the 2022 Formula One Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, asserting he has healed well after two weeks of racing whilst also being ill.
The Briton had to race in Monaco and Barcelona while experiencing pain from tonsillitis, but he has now recovered completely and looking forward to the much-awaited Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend in Baku.
“It’s cool to be at another street circuit and last year’s race showed that anything can happen. It will be great to see what we can do in the new cars around this unique circuit,” said the 22-year-old driver.
“I’m feeling back to usual myself after the weekend off and I’ve recovered well after a tough two weeks. I’m excited to see what I can do going into this next next double header, so let’s get stuck in!,” concluded Norris.
Lando Norris’ teammate Daniel Ricciardo is optimistic about Baku
Teammate Daniel Ricciardo had yet another disheartening race weekend in Monaco, where a crash in FP2 placed him even further away, as he qualified 14th and finished 13th, while Norris outscored him once again, qualifying fifth and finishing sixth.
“I’m a big fan of the Baku Circuit, it has some exciting features and it’s always a fun battle heading into Turn 1, where you often end up with three cars running side by side,” said Ricciardo in an interview ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
“There’s a couple of different ways we can play it strategy wise this weekend but track position for lights out on Sunday will be important, even with the overtaking opportunities the longest straight on the calendar offers,” he added.
