168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris has downplayed McLaren’s impressive start to the F1 British Grand Prix weeඣkend, claiming Mercedes are “pretty even” in terms of perfo🃏rmance.

Norris topped both practice sessions at Silversto🔯ne as he enjoyed a great start to his home weekend.

McLaren teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri was inside the top three on both occasions, highlighting the Woking outfit’s ♋imprꦯessive pace.

McLaren h﷽ave traditionally performed best at high-speed circuits like Silverstone over the la𒊎st 12 months, meaning Norris will be fancying his chances of a maiden home win.

Reflecting on the ♔day, Norris said: “A good start to the weekend. It didn’t feel that comfortable this morning.

“We made tweaks and I got it into a much nicer window, which is important around here, because it’s on the nose and sketchy a꧃t pretty high speeds. Tricky, but I’m happy. We made good progress.

“I think we are pretty even with Mercedes, they seem just as quick as us. They just di♑dn’t turn up the engine and do as much in the final run.

“We are in a good place but w𓃲e have more to find.”

In typical British f𒈔ashion, the weather has been unpredicꦬtable this weekend.

While both sessions were predominantly dry, rain af💜fected the latter stages of FP2.

Similarly the Formula 3 qualifying session - which took place between the two F1 practice sessions - was hit with some wet weatꦜhe🔴r.

Despite often faring well in the rain, like in Canada, Nor𒈔ris hopes it remains dry.

“I always enjoy both conditions,” he added. “At a home race you prefer it whenꦉ it’s dr🉐y. Because we’re in a good place and I don’t want to go too far from that.

“But, it’s Silverstone! It’s England! I am ready for everything but m🅘y preference would be to stay dry.”

On the home atmosphere, he concluded: “♓A good amount. I wish the weather was better but at least the rain held off. I love it. It’s busy and chaotic. I try to give back to them.”
