168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris is hoping that McLaren’s decision to run lower downforce will pay off in Sunday’s F1 Belgian Grand Prix.

After showing impressive 🥂pace in dry conditions on Friday, Norris could only secure fourth on the grid for tomorrow’s race.

McLaren’s lack of pace in the middle sec🅠tor - the high downforce part of the lap - was apparent throughout qualifying.

Norris did well to recover to qualify fifth (before168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen’s penalty) after nearly dropping out in Q1.

Refle🍒cting on qualifying, Norris conceded he’s not clicked with his McLaren F1 car.

“The whole weekend the Red Bull has been a step ahead of us even if we were a bit quicker y🌜esterday,” he said. “I just think Red Bull didn’t show their cards at all - and we did⛎.

“What we did yesterday was pretty much all we got. I think going into today we were optimistic still. I was just struggling a bit myself. Oscar was almost quickest in the first two sessions. Q3, I ꦑthink both just struggled a little bit more.

“Just from my side, I just haven’t been able to click very well today. I was always one step behind. I was always🐎 a little bit on🌱 the backfoot. To come away with a P5, I was actually surprised with and therefore happy with it.

“It’s not the result I wanted honestly. Still got to overtake some꧑ quick car👍s like the Red Bull of Perez.”

Norris confirm💟ed that McLaren have opted to run with “slightly lower downforce” in preparation for a dry race.

It means McLaren will have more straight-line speed as they look to move up the order in the race𒆙.

“The slightly lower downforce that we have potentially has hurt us a little bit today꧅ and hopefully will pay us back tomorrow,” he explained.

“I was struggling a lot out there, honestly. Just with a bit of confidence. High-speed. I was a little bit more confident at the end of yesterday. I just haven’t clicked as much as I did in the previous races. It sounds terrible but I have to try very hard to try and understand the car in every corner whereas the last few weeks, months it’s been a lot more na💞tural.

“Maybe just oneꦏ of those weekends so far. We will work hard overnight to ma🐲ke sure we’re as prepared as we can be tomorrow.”
