Lando Norris was just a handful of laps away from converting pole position for the Russian Grand Prix into a sensational maiden victory when the heavens opened and he was left stranded on the track on slicks – with a “devastated” Norris only able to finish P7, as Lewis Hamilton ultimately claimed his 100th F1 win.

蘭多·諾里斯在俄羅斯距離他夢幻般的處女勝僅僅幾圈之遙，而大雨卻在這時傾盆而下，將英國人pole-to-win的希望一下澆滅。失望至極的諾里斯不得不接受第七完賽的事實，而漢密爾頓則拿下了生涯第100勝。

But uncertainty from both Norris and his McLaren team on when to switch to intermediate tyres as rain started falling in the final few laps was ultimately their undoing, with Norris slewing over the track on his slick tyres before finally pitting, leaving him P7 at the flag.

不過，這主要還是由于不管是麥克拉倫，還是諾里斯，都對何時，以及是否該進站換半雨胎估計不足。這最終導致依舊帶著干胎的英國人在賽道上一路下滑，結果以第七完賽。

“I don’t know where to start,” said an emotional Norris. “Obviously unhappy, devastated in a way. I guess we made a call to stay out; we stand by that call but it was the wrong one at the end of the day. I made a decision just as much as the team. In fact it was more they thought I should box and I decided to stay out. So, my decision – I thought it was the way to go.

“我不曉得該怎么評價我們的比賽，”諾里斯激動的說道，“我們當然不開心，甚至失望透頂。我覺得，我們都決定要待在賽道上，我們貫徹了自己的策略，只不過事實證明我們錯了。這是我和車隊共同的決定，老實講，情況比車隊預估的要糟糕，但我依舊決定不進站。所以我覺得我自己的主觀決定要更多一點，當時我覺得自己賭對了?！?/p>

“So it was tricky, but what we just, for some reason, didn’t see was how much more rain was suddenly going to come. I didn’t get told that, I didn’t know about that, and I made my decision on… the information that I got before that the drizzle was going to remain a drizzle, not pouring with rain! So I don’t know – it was just all going so well, so I guess it makes it even worse. ”

“處理這樣的決定很棘手，但是不曉得為什么，我們就是沒有預測到降雨大小。沒人告訴我天氣的具體信息，我不清楚雨水的走勢。我只是基于之前的預報做出的決定，我還以為一直會保持小雨，而不是傾盆大雨！我那會有點茫然，本來好好的…我想這才是最讓人難受的?！?/p>
