Lando Norris blames “silly” mistakes for latest F1 qualifying blunder in Miami
Lando Norris failed to capitalise on McLaren's strong pace with a numb🐈er of "silly mistakes" in sprint qualifying.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris explained that his🌜 "silly" mistakes in sprint qualifying at the Miami💞 Grand Prix were a result of pushing "too hard".
Heading into 🉐SQ3, Norris was the heavy favouriteꦯ to take pole position as he showed outstanding pace in the upgraded McLaren.
On his only soft tyre run, Norris made a number of mistakes in the opening part of the lap, losing out to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen by approximately eight-tenths in s💖ector one alone.
This meant Norris could only qualify ninth for the Saturday spriಞnt race, when he had the pace to take pole position.
It continues a long catalogue of errors from Norris, particularly in qualifying sessions since the start o🥀f last year.
Norris was on course to take pole for the Qatar sprint before running wide at the final corne🅰r.
This allowed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri to take his fir🎀st F1 win - something Norris is yet to do.
Reflecting on his l💖atest difficult qualifying session, 🅘Norris explained: “I just pushed too hard, as simple as that.
“The car was feeling very good. Just silly to be honest,🎃 a couple of mistak🥀es in Turn 1 and a big spiral from there.
“It's a shame, the team has done a good job, the upgrades are working, s💝o I'm happy with everything, just not w🍌ith one thing.”
Unsurprisingly, Norris felt he was “one of the quickest” out on ♍track in 𒉰Miami.
“The pace🤡 was very good,” he added. “Probably one of the quickest So, disappointed with today but I will do my best tomorrow.”
Piastri manag꧅ed to qualify sixth, but like Norris, di🌃dn’t quite manage to extract the maximum from his car.
Explaining h༺is session, he said: “I think it was a really tricky for everybody. I don’t know if the track changed or we all thought the soft was going to be a lot better but my lap felt pretty terrible and it was P6 so I think everyone must have had a bad run.
“I think Lando did the quickest lap on the whole in SQ2, so a bit strange but I'll take P6. It's gonna be tough for everybody I ཧthink, but the tyres seem to be surviving ok, they ♔are just very hot.
“Not too concerned, but it could be an exciting sprint. A few cars out of position. Nobody has really had much consistency so it will be exciting tomorrow.▨”
