168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris has admitted he hoped to have a “much bigger gap” over 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc following a strong showing in Friday F1 practice at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Norris topped the timesheets in FP2, 🎃with less🍸 than a tenth advantage over Leclerc.

Like in Azerbaijan, the battle for victory looks set to between McLaren and F⛎errari.

Reflecting on the day, Norris was very pleased with how McLaren were performing 𒀰- b♚ut hoped for a bigger margin.

“Pace is good. I am feeling good,” Norris said. “It was also a nice lap. We’re doing what w♚e expect, I guess, to be at the front with Ferrari🍷.

“But it was a very nice lap. Charles is only 0.08s behinꦅd. I was hoping to have a much bigge🅠r gap than I had honestly which means they’re quick.

“Ferrari are very, very fast. Things are going𝐆 wel🌜l so far.”

N🧔orris revealed the handling of his McLaren “felt good straightaway”⛄.

“My first comment to the whole team was that it felt good straightaway,” he added. “I think we’re always good at that - it’s one of our strengths, arriving, performing well, but then we don’t tend to progress as much as other🍸 teams.

“We will see. It’s going to be close. ♑We’re🌠 in a decent position. I feel like there’s not a lot we can change.

“Just trying to perfect a little bit, iron out a few things and pusꦛh it in a slightly quicker direction. It’s all w✱e can do.”

Norris isn’t surprised b🃏y Ferrari’s turn of pace, particularly in the hands of Leclerc.

Leclerc stormed to pole and the win in Monaco, 😼while he wﷺas the quickest driver in Azerbaijan.

Despite McLaren’s strong 💖start, he’s warned that there wasn’t much m😼ore lap time in his best effort.

“Charles is very good at street circuits,” he explained. “We’ve seen it at Baku, Monaco, what he’s capable of doing. I am sure he’s quite happy with his lap. If he’s not happy, I'm worried about tomorrow. A nice la🍬p for me, not much more in it. I felt like I ꦯgot a lot out of Friday.

“Normally I prefer not being so good then always having a bit extra into ꦆSaturday. A good st🔯art to the weekend. We’re in a good place. If we can keep it up I will be happy.”
