Norris over here also tried to attack Hamilton several times, only to realize that even with the DRS open, his rate of closing in on Hamilton on the straight was pathetically slow.
After several attempts leading to the same result, Norris decisively gave up.
Tired, let's just end it, quickly.
But on the other hand, third place is actually not bad.
At least in terms of McLaren's performance this season, third place is already beyond expectations.
As for Verstappen behind Norris, he genuinely felt like swearing.
Chasing, can't catch up.
Overtaking, can't overtake.
Frustrating, so frustrating!
But Pan had no solutions, so when Leclerc pitted, Verstappen immediately activated the team radio: "I want to pit and try the undercut."
Red Bull had actually discussed this even before Verstappen said it, whether to let Verstappen pit early to change tires.
