Lando Norris “sad it’s not proper qualifying” after “all-or-nothing” lap
Lan๊do Norris wisheไs his pole lap was for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix - rather than the sprint race.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris admitted he is “sad” his pole position for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix sprint race was not🌌 set in “proper qualifying”.
The McLaren driver beat 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to claim pole for the first sprint race of the season by 🧔1.2 seconds in ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚa chaotic and rain-hit qualifying session in Shanghai.
Norris had his𝔉 fastest ဣlap deleted for a track limits infringement before it was reinstated in the closing minutes of a dramatic qualifying session.
“I didn't do the first few two laps like well at all and I got a🌼 good final one: a good enough one for pole. So I'm happy. Sad it is not for proper qualifying, but good enough,” Norris sa🍸id.
The Briton saidও🌞 he took an “all-or-nothing” approach to secure pole with his last lap of SQ3 after aborting his previous two efforts.
"It was tricky," he explained. “You’re always nervous going into a session like this, especially for quali when you know it's going to rain. I know 🌠I was quite h꧑appy with how it was in the dry; I think we have had good pace all weekend so far.
"So I got a bit nervous but the conditions were you have just got to risk a lot, you have g🔯ot to push, build tyre temperature and so fo♍rth.
"The first two I aborted on both, so I was like: the last lap was all or nothing. But it's getting wetter and wetter. So actuallyﷺ the conditions for the finꦦal two laps were a lot worse than the second lap at least.
"I was a little bit nervous that I made a few mistakes, started to aquaplane quite a bit. But it's good fun. ಌIt gets your heart going. T✱o end up on top is exactly what we wanted.”
Norris will have an opportunity to claim his first F1 win in Satu🌸rday’s sprint race.
“We did some of our work this 🦄morning, we did some consecutive laps to try and understand. But it depends what the weather is. There’s still a chance of rain tomorrow, so if it’s like this, then I think the chances are relatively decent,” he said of his victory chances.
“But the race is still verꦿy different to qualifying so I’m sure everyone’s going to catch ♚up a bit tomorrow. But the pace is good whether it’s wet or dry, and I think we’re in a good position.”
