168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris “collapses every time” amid the pressure of qualifying, according to 1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve.

Norris was forced to s♋ettle with P4 on the grid for Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix after falling short on both 🎶of his Q3 laps.

In contrast, McLaren teammate and F1 championship leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri secured pole, beating Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and Mercedes’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell, who pipped Norris 🔯right at the e🦄nd of qualifying.

While Villeneuve was full of praise for Piastri, h🐈e criticised Norris fo💖r failing to deliver when it mattered most in a crucial qualifying session at Imola, where overtaking is notoriously hard.

"Piastri good and he seems to perform under pressure,” Villeneuve told Sky Sports F1. "Take last year - Lando was the qualifier of th🌸e team.

"And now Lando collapses everyཧ time there's a little bit of pressure, and Piastri seems to make a step.

"If you look at his lap, it was aggres𝐆sive. He was pushing it. Even at the end with the traffic, it was visually disturbing him, and he didn't miss the apex and st𓂃ill managed to get pole.”

On Norris, Villeneuve added: “He has shown all season he has the pace and most of the time he has slightly the edge over his teammate❀, but when it’s money time, he collapses.

“It’s as if he puts himself under too much pressure and it doesn’t work oඣut. He loses his natural flow and when you lose your natural flow driving you lose a tenth here, you lose half a tenth there and start making mistakes.

“He doesn’t seem to suffer that pressure in the race. He calms down🌄. It’s really that qualifying lap, where he had the advantage last year, and now he’s been beaten a few times and it🦩’s starting to affect him.”

‘I just wasn’t quick enough’ admits Norris

Norris, who was visibly deflated when he spoke to media after qualifying, was left rueing his 🌠own performance and admitted 🍷he simply “wasn’t quick enough”.

"I guess I probably just wasn’t quick enough,” the Briton said. "None of my performances in Q3 have been strong 𒆙enough this year, so same thing.

“Same as every we🍌ekend, I need to try to make up positions and go forꦦward. It’s not easy because it’s not an easy track to overtake on, but it is what it is.

"It’s just the same story. Not g꧃ood enough in qualy, and try to have a fun race tomorrow.”
