168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris says he has “not felt comfortable” with his McLaren F1 car despite ending Friday practice at the Belgian Grand Prix with the🌳 fastest time.

Norris unleashed promising pace to spearhead a McLaren 1-2, two tenths clear of teammate and Hungarian Grand Prix winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri, in second practice at Spa-Franco🌸rchamps on Friday.

Despite setting the pace, Norris admitted he does not feel entirely comfortable behind t♔he wheel🐭 of his McLaren.

“Good, but st𒐪ill tough and close. Red Bull are quick, at the moment.♈ It’s tricky,” Norris said.

“I have not felt comfortable today with the car. Hopefully I wake up tomorrow and feel more comfortable. We’ll try to impro♔ve a few things.

“I know it looks good on the timesheets but I didn’t feel super-comfortableꦇ going out and doing it. Hopefully I get in more of a rhythm out there.

“I don’t think it’s a lot. We always come to a circuit noꦕw, and be within milli🍸metres of the margin straight away.

“It’s not like you ever really change the whole car overnight anymore. If y⛎ou do, you’re not doing a good enough job before the weekend.

“We prepared wel๊l. We have a good set up. It’s working. J💯ust from my side, feeling like I can go out and nail it? I’m not quite there yet.”

Norris ended up 0.217s faster than Red Bull's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, who will serve a 10-place grid drop for Sunday’s race after exc🌳eeding his aꦰllocation of power units for the season.

Sky F1 pundit Naomi Schiff said🐼 V꧋erstappen’s penalty presents McLaren with a big opportunity to make it back-to-back wins.

"FP1ꦉ Max looked🔯 really, really quick - especially in sector two, although that's not really where you do your overtaking - but after this session I think McLaren will be slightly reassured that Max is controllable in terms of pace,” she said.

"They're just going to have to maximise that opening part of the first stint in the race. If the drivers work together, don't slow 🐽each other down, they can just open as much as a gap as they can so that Max can’t get back to them.

"So there is a huge opportunity in front of them - they've꧂ got to use it wisely."
