Norris Needs To 'Grow Bigger Balls' According To Steiner

Former F1 team principal Guenther Steiner criticized Lando Norris after the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, saying he needs to "grow bigger balls."

Although he finished on the podium (which is a dream for some of the F1 drivers), Lando Norris was definitely not happy with his result after the 2024 Italian Grand Prix.

Starting from pole position, he lost two positions on the opening lap - to his teammate Oscar Piastri and to Charles Leclerc, behind whom he also finished the race (crossing the finish line in P3).

While the 24-year-old took the blame on himself, he also expressed he wasn't happy with the overtake that Piastri pulled on him as it was too risky.

However, he said nothing on the team radio about it during the race, and that surprised former team principal Guenther Steiner, who told Red Flags Podcast:

Guenther Steiner also pinpointed the moment from the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix where Lando Norris obeyed team orders and let his teammate pass him to take the victory.

This cost the 24-year-old seven points in the Championship, and finishing behind Piastri in Monza cost him three more points. With a Championship battle that might go down to the final race of the season, every point matters, and that's why Steiner believes Norris needs to change his attitude.
