Bristol's Lando Norris says he is delighted to have secured points in the Bahrain GP.
The 19-year-old finished sixth in just his second F1 drive and continued the positive start to his career in motorsport's elite.
Speaking to McLaren's website , he said it was a reward for the team's hard work this winter.
“I’m really happy and pleased to have scored my first points but also for McLaren after all of the team’s hard work over the winter. I had a good start: a good launch, good pull-away but then some wheel-spin. I was blocked going into Turn One, then was on the outside of another car and we touched. I went off and through the gravel, losing quite a few places.
“The pace after that was really strong. I caught up pretty quickly. I struggled a bit in the DRS train that formed but as soon as someone lost DRS, I could get them. I maybe struggled a little in the final stint but managed to stay ahead of Kimi. From my side, P6 is a really good job!”
