A great weekend, the hard work all pays off.” “Everyone’s putting a lot of time and effort into this. Lando Norris was clearly ecstatic after an unlikely podium finish.

Lando Norris was amazed to finish on the podium in the fourth race of the season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, given McLaren's poor start to 2022.
We beat two cars that are probably a second a lap quicker than us and one ended up in the wall and one ended up in the gravel. Maybe not surprising after the progress we made over the last month, but with how much quicker the Red Bulls and Ferraris are, it’s hard to ever imagine yourself on the podium. There was a step forward in Saudi Arabia but Melbourne showed the first glimpse of strength as both cars finished in the top six, and Norris followed that with a podium at Imola after Leclerc’s late error.
Lando Norris revelled in his podium finish at Imola, adding that his McLaren team "deserve" their success after a tricky start to the year.
“Me being me, I don’t believe we had the third best car today behind Red Bull and Ferrari. The Alfa Romeo was extremely fast as well. I think a lot of it was the teamwork. From where we were in race one to now scoring a podium they all deserve it, so top job to the team.

Last year, even though McLaren still had a significant gap to the front, it wasn't this big and Norris was able to defend against the charges of faster cars. The gap to the front might seem alarming for now, but this was still a positive outcome for the team. So it’s not the nicest thing to see but it’s the best we can do with our package and with our car, we just have to be very with these positions.

It needs to be a perfect weekend to be able to do this over and over again. Staying out of trouble at the start was one of the reasons the Briton claims to have had a trouble-free race later. Subsequently, the McLaren driver revealed that his only job throughout the race was to keep George Russell at bay and build a significant gap over the Mercedes driver. McLaren suffered from severe brake heating issues which they had resolved using a temporary fix in Australia. Team principal Andreas Seidl had mentioned that their permanent solution to the problem was to arrive at Imola, after which they seemed to be back on pace. We won a lot in the start, I had a perfect start, honestly. We won a lot in the beginning and we just had really good pace throughout.

As the track dried up, Ricciardo was first to the pits to put on slicks on lap sixteen with the rest of the field following soon after. At Turn 1, I thought I got hit but it was actually me getting on the kerb. Great work by the team at track and back at the factory, great pit stops and a great result. Having lined up in sixth, his competitive starting position was spoiled when a lap one racing incident with Carlos Sainz Jr sent both drivers into the gravel. It’s been a tricky weekend, but the team recovered well to put me in a good position for today’s race.” It was the misfortune of Charles Leclerc ahead, who spun-off on lap fifty-three, that allowed Norris to move up a position and take third.
In the wake of his podium finish, Lando Norris joked about other drivers comparing their performances to their car.
