What happened
Jolyon Palmer has questioned McLaren’s decision to pit Lando Norris after the Virtual Safety Car ended at the Madrid Grand Prix, arguing the team failed to react to the race unfolding in front of them. Norris had built a six-second advantage over Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli before the VSC was deployed, leaving McLaren particularly exposed when the field’s pace was reduced.
