Norris misses Spanish GP win by 2 seconds under VSC

Lando Norris lost his commanding lead at the Spanish Grand Prix when the virtual safety car was called just two seconds after he passed the pit entry, handing victory to Kimi Antonelli.

Norris had built a 6.2-second lead over Antonelli by lap 14 and appeared in complete control of the race. However, the timing of the virtual safety car call proved critical, as the VSC was initiated just two seconds after Norris passed the pit entry, effectively ending his victory hopes.

The incident highlights the fine margins in Formula 1, where a two-second window can determine race outcomes. Antonelli accepted the victory that came his way as Norris's strategic advantage was neutralized by the VSC. newsindata.com
