Norris’s victory marked the largest winning margin for any race this season as no one could find a way to close down the gap to the 24-year-old, ending Verstappen’s streak of home race wins.
“[The margin] was pretty awesome,” McLaren CEO Brown told Sky Sports F1. “Lando drove perfectly and the team did a great job, the strategy was great. We were close to getting both on the podium, but that was a big win with fastest lap at the end.

“We knew we were fast all weekend so I’m not shocked, but I guess I’m pleasantly surprised at the size of the gap. Once Lando got in clean air he controlled it pretty easily, so that was great to see.
“It was pretty clear he was faster, so it was nice to see him pass on the track because around then we were starting to think about pit stop strategy and undercut/overcut, but next thing we know he flew past him and pulled away. He definitely was able to control this race, and we’ll see what happens in Monza.”
