Lando Norris loses race lead after pitstop errors at Spanish Grand Prix

Lando Norris relinquished the race lead during the Spanish Grand Prix on September 13, 2026. The shift in position followed a sequence of tactical and operational setbacks for the McLaren team. Norris first missed an opportunity to enter the pits during a Virtual Safety Car period. The situation worsened shortly after when a slow pitstop by the crew further compromised his track position. These combined issues resulted in the loss of the lead. The race remains ongoing as the field continues to navigate the circuit.
