McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris admitted that he has been making far too many mistakeꦦs in Shanghai after qualifying third for the Chinese Grand Prix.

Norris was trying to usurp teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri in the final moments of Q3 when he made an 🔥error and had to abort his l🤪ast flying lap.

That allowed Piastri to take his first career pole position, while George Russell later denied McLaren a front-row lockout with a last-gasp effort 🐓in🎉 his Mercedes.

Australian GP winner Norris has had a difficult weekend in China so far, setting just the sixth-fastest time in sprint qualifying on Friday and str🐲uggling to eighth in the short-distance race on Saturday morning.

Hailing McLaren for improving the car following the sprint, the 25-year-old admitted that it was own mistakes that prevented himꦅ from taking the fight to Piastri for pole position.

“I’m always disappointed when I'm not on pole,” Norris said. “Oscar deserves it today, he has done a very good job all weekend. I’m ha𒉰ppy for him, his first pole in Formula 1, so it's always cool.

“Just a couple of mistakeღs again, kind of been my case ဣthis weekend. The car is feeling a bit better today, I'm a lot more comfortable with the car.

“A step in the right direction, especially from yesterday𓆏 when I was struggling a lot and even this morning I was struggling a lot. A much better direction that 🌠we are going in. Not too disappointed.”

Norris described the behavioౠur of the MCL39 as “feisty” and explained that a number of changes had to be made to his car after h🤡e was “nowhere” in the sprint race.

“I said that plenty of times, it is [tough to drive],” he said. “It's stil🌄l quick enough, we never doubted that it's the quickest car, it can just be a little feisty at tim💃es.

“No, today ༺is not so much that. Today was just mistakes from my side, that is all.”

“We changed quite a lot on the car because we were nowhere and we ✱worᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚked quite hard to make some improvements into quali and hopefully for the race tomorrow. We will see.”
