McLaren scored its first 1-🙈2 finish since꧟ 2010 with Ricciardo winning ahead of Norris at the Italian Grand Prix.

Norris was running in a net second place൲ until the Safety Car was deployed due to Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton’s 🎀collision.

He then overtook Charles Leclerc - who got ahead through 🌜the pit🌺 stops - before applying pressure to Ricciardo for the race victory.

While Norris’ missed out on his maiden🥃 victory, he says the most important thing was that McLaren maximised its weekend by scoring 45 points.

“I don’t know where to start,” Nor💎ris said. “I think it’s incredible. The main thing it means to me is our result as a team, whether I’m second🦩 third or first it’s that 1-2 for the team, securing maximum point.

“It’s such aౠ cool ๊feeling, to be part of this, a bit lost for words in a way. I’m happy for myself, for us to execute the race the way we did, the strategy, overtakes, defending. Happy for Daniel and the whole team as it’s a pretty awesome achievement for all of us.”

During the closing laps, Norris was told by his team: “Lando, best for us where you ar🍸e”.

After signing a new🅷 long-term deal with McLaren e𝓀arlier in the year, Norris admitted that he was happy to put the interests of the team above his own.

“I got a bit closer on one lap and, I just kind of, I don’t know why I had a few flashes of seeing the incident between Max and Lewis as I saw it in my mirrors, and when I thought maybe I’ll try that kind of was flashing in my head and I thought no problem maybe this isn’t the wisest decision so I would h𓃲ave loved to but like I said I think I’m just as happy, as much as I would have loved to have to ♔go for the win, first and second I’m just as happy with,” Norris added.

“The feeling I get for the team is kind of priority over my own feeling in a way, I’m here for many more years I hope with McLaren, I feel like I still have an opportunity in the future to go for it but in this instance and moment I was happy🔴 just staying where I was.”
