Lando Norris said he had “no idea♐” what went wrong in qualifyin꧟g for the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.

Norris mad𝓀e a mistake on his final lap in Q3, meaning he didn’t improve his lap time.

This means that Norris is set to start Sunday’s race in Bahrain from sixth on the grid, just one place ahead of F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

On the other side of the McLaren garage, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri beat 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to take his second pole position of the year.

Norris cut a frustrated f𝓰igure after qualifying i🦂n his interview with Sky Sports.

Reflecting on qualifying, Nor⛦ris said: “No. I didn’t even go a tenth quicker. I am just not q🅠uick enough.”

When pressed on what went wrong, he added: “No idea. Honestl🐠y, no ideaꦯ. Just not quick enough.

“It’s just another day. Look into 🌺things. See why I was🅰 struggling so much today and try again tomorrow.”

Shortly after Norris’ interview, Sky Sports pundit Naomi Schi💝ff said that “you can understa🌜nd why he’s demotivated” after qualifying.

“I mean you can understand why he’s demotivated,” Schiff said. “His teammate is on pole position. What an incredible result for Oscar Piastri to put it 💖on pole position. Lando was down by three tenths in the first sector and basically from there it’s already a lost battle.

“Unfortunately for him that’s exactly what cost him. Whilst he’s a bit deflated in saying he doesn’t have the answers, that’s ju🗹st because he wanted to be on pole position and not far down the 𝓰order when his teammate is on pole.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris has “looked behind” since FP2

Ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok wasn’t surprised to see Norris look off the pace relative to Pi𝓡astri.

Even without his mistake at Turn 1, Chandh🔯ok felt that Piastri would have taken pole position regardless.

“He’s lo👍oked behind hasn’t he? He’s looked behind since FP2,” Ch🎶andhok said.

“He was behind in Q2 as well. He lost the three-tenths there. He would have been in t♑he mix with George but stil๊l been behind Oscar.

“You don’t like being beaten by your teammate and to be sixth on the grid on a weꦓekend where all ♏weekend we’ve talked about a McLaren 1-2, inter-team battle, he’s now got five other people in front.”
