Norris feels it was 'lucky' he had to retire from the Brazilian GP amid illness. 'I'm sure if I didn't break down and if I'd made the end of the race I would have been in quite a bad condition.'
driver missed Thursday activities at the track after experiencing a bout of food poisoning. He took part in qualifying and Friday practice, but felt unwell after the Saturday sprint.
"I got to a point where I did start to struggle a bit physically, but then my race was over," he said when asked by Motorsport.com about his condition."Especially from Thursday. I didn't eat for two days, I didn't drink for two days, I lost three and a half, almost four kilos in weight. I really struggled a lot.
Asked if he was helped when the adrenaline kicked in the race, he said:"I mean already today I was a little bit better. I could have a bit of food in me before the race today, I could get some fluids in me, which is probably the most important thing on such a hot day. Norris acknowledged that in the circumstances it was difficult to perform within the car, but felt he could ultimately carry out what he needed to during the sessions.Motorsport Images
