McLaren made a “mistake” at the F1 Australian Grand Prix - but no✃t in their big decision to swap their drivers arou𝕴nd.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris finished on the podium𝓡 after teammate Oscar Piastri was asked to surrender his position.

Piastri, who finished fourth, reacted: “It was fine. Lando quဣalified in front and tried something different at the first stop, and was quicker than me in the fꦇirst stint.

“It looked liඣke he could get in front of the Ferraris, I wa♕s holding pace with them.

“Y๊eah, Lando🥃 was a bit quicker so it was completely fair. As a team, we made the right call.”

Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz won t🐼he Australian Grand P♐rix ahead of his teammate Charles Leclerc.

The McLarens were third and fourth, in ꧙a gꦓrand prix featuring DNFs for Max Verstappen and both Mercedes drivers.

But McL🏅arꦜen might have secured P2 if not for an error earlier in the race, Karun Chandhok noticed.

“I t꧒hink they made a mistake,” the S🏅ky Sports pundit explained.

“They started third and fifth, on the clean side. Both drivers got an ⛎okay getaway. They held their 🎶positions.

“On Lap 10, Norris was ahead of Leclerc. Oscar was behind him. Further bℱack was George Russell who had pitted earlier, and was coming fast with a fresh set of tyreꦰs.

“McLaren and Ferrari reacted to George coming. Tꦓhey didn’t want to lose position.

“B♕ut they reacted with Oscar leading Lando f⭕or an extra five laps.

“Tho🀅se five lap🅘s meant that, with fresh tyres, Oscar and Leclerc jumped ahead of Lando.

“In hindsight, if you say they could have pitted Lando and Lecle🔜rc on Lap 10𓂃 instead of Oscar, actually Oscar was still four seconds ahead of George.

“He could have pitted on Lap 11, still ahead of George. Lando could have still stayed a🧸head of Leclerc.

“They could have won on both counts.

“They swapped their drivers on Lap 29 which was a fair ꩲdecision. They had allow✤ed Oscar to undercut Lando.

“Oscar then made an error, he locked up the front on Lap 39, which took him out of the fight. He was 8-10 seconds behind♔.

“If you look at Lando’s pace throughout that gཧrand prix, h🐽e was only 2-3s behind Leclerc.

“I do think if he pitted at the same time꧃ as Leclerc on Lap 1💃0, and Oscar pitted on Lap 11, I think [Norris] could’ve hung onto second-place.”

Norris’ 🦩P3 is his 14th career podium - the most-ever for an F1 driver without a grand prix victory.

Norris reacted: “I'm very happy and 🍒proud of the team as P3 and P4 are a lot of 🥃points in the championship, so that's the first thing.

“We missed out on Charles, I think our pace was a little bit better. He undercut us in the first stint so maybe a little bit of hope for second place🍌.”
