The drivers had to make the crucial decision of the compound during the expected light to heavy rains mid-way of the race. Upon this, Norris decided to stick to a different decision than expected. As a result, the 24-year-old noted that he didn’t make the right decisions. Regardless, the Briton took responsibility for the wrong decisions and added that he ‘hated’ the situation.

I’m not making the right decisions, At the same time, I blame myself today for not making some of the right decisions but I hate it. I hate ending in this position and ever having excuses for not doing a good enough job but I’m still happy. I’m still going to enjoy it.
Lando Norris said, as reported by planetf1.com.

Woking can come extremely close to Red Bull in the constructors’ championship amidst their struggling pace. Hence, the end of the season looks promising for a great battle for the championship amidst the improving pace of multiple teams.
