“I was on a𝄹 better tyre but I didn’t expect anything,” No🍎rris told Sky Sports at Imola.

“We still had a tough fight. It was close into Tu♓rn 1.

“I lose time, thro🦩ugh that, and he loses time. But it’s what we have to do, to battle for a championship.

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

Sky analyst Anthony Davidson said: "I can't think of another time where they've had a fair fight, without team rules coming into pla𝓀y.

"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 prowess, that he can get it done."

Norris is now 13 points behind hi𒀰s teammate Piastri, who leads the F1 standings after t𒆙he Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Pi𝐆astri’s three-race winning run was ended b൩y Verstappen, but this enabled Norris to gain back some momentum in his garage.

However, Norris knows e🔯xactly 🌳where he is falling short.

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

“But my Saturdays make♍ my life difficult constantly.

“I always nee💫d to fight back, and take risks, with overtakes, and work harde⭕r than I need to.

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

“I am working on them but it still ꧃take♉s time. I’ll keep working.”

Piastri has out-qual🍷ified Norris on four out of six occasions in 2025.

It is a clear area for improvement for Norris ahead of next weekend’s F1 Monaco Gran🀅d🔴 Prix, as the season moves into its European section.

Norris also said after the Imola race: “Seco🉐nd wa🅠s the best we could achieve. Max was fast, the Red Bull was quick.

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

“It waܫs a long race. A lot of options came… and went.

But I think second was the best we could do. I’m꧑ happy with that.

“Even if we started on pole, Max was too qu🐟ick. Wel♌l done to them.”

Red Bull are 48 points behind McLaren, who lead the coꦉnstructors’ championship.

Mercedes sp🅺lit them, and are 32 points behind the leade𝐆rs, despite not winning a race this year.
