Speaking af♍ter the sprint rac🙈e in Shanghai, Norris was honest about his poor performance.

“It [sprint qualifying] certainly didn’t help,” Norris said. “The further back you star🐟t the harder it is. I just had a bad first lap.

“Qual🌱i didn’t help but I wasn’t veryꦑ good today either.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris “more confident” for qualifying

Even ꦬthough McLaren were out-classed by Ferrari in th🌌e sprint segment of the weekend, both Norris and Oscar Piastri will fancy their chances of taking pole position this afternoon.

The feeling is that McLaren underperformed in qualifying because Piastri and Nor☂ris had the pace for pole position.

In Norris’ case, he made two errors, costing him a likely pole ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.

Unsurprisingly, Norris feels “a bit more confident” for qualifying�♈� - but described the feeling in the race as “dreadful”.

“It’s another session, it’s qualifying, so I 🀅will be a bit 🐼more confident," Norris added.

“At the minute, in the﷽ race, I just feel dreadful. A lot of work to do but it’s the way it is.”
