Lando Norris only managed to salvage a single point from the 2022 Japanese GP. The driver finished P10 in a rain-soaked race.

Norris struggled in the Wet weather but was not disappointed with his performance. “One point is better than nothing. I think I was P14 or 15 on the restart so I’m happy. It’s one point, it’s not a lot,” said Lando.
