“We should have been P4” - Why Lando Norris wasn’t happy despite McLaren’s improvement
Norris qualified a superb seventh in a heavily-upgraded McLaren car to give the team their highest starting spot of F1 2023.
However, Norris felt there was more time on the table, even as high as fourth ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Fernando Alonso.
“I think definitely before today, 100% we would have taken [P7],” Norris said. “I think it’s a great result I t𝐆hink with the sequence of the upgrades working well, the car working well on this circuit.
“At the same time, I feel like I did a better job of my driving and things, it should have been a lot better rea🍨lly. I think we should have been P4 today, so a bit disappointed honestly.
“We as a team didn’t do the best job with making the correct decis𒅌ions of what to do. But apart from that, things were positive.”
McLaren 💮have introduꦬced a number of significant upgrades for this weekend’s race, including a new floor.
Norris feels that they’ve made a 𒁃difference, but also pointed towards Baku’s track chara🔥cteristics.
“We’ve been pushing hard to try♉ and get some drag off the car we were running compared to where we have been on much loweꦡr downforce.
“The new floor’s working well and just adding these little things here and๊ ther▨e always adds up.
“Also just this track, I think we’re good in the b𓆏raking zones and maybe this track suits us t🌄hat little touch more.”
