Lando Norris misses Spanish GP pit window during virtual safety car

Lando Norris lost the lead of the Spanish Grand Prix after a virtual safety car period altered his race strategy. By the start of the 14th lap, Norris had established a 6.2-second lead over Kimi Antonelli. A virtual safety car was deployed shortly after Norris passed the pit entry, preventing him from reacting to the track conditions. The two-second window between his position on track and the pit entry proved decisive, shifting the advantage to Antonelli. Kimi Antonelli ultimately secured the win as the race concluded. Norris finished behind him, marking a missed opportunity for the driver after leading the early stages of the event.
