McLaren's Oscar Piastri points out difficulꦚty at F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri was denied pole position for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix by just 0.010s.
The McLaren driver had bettered George Russell’s time, until a🌱 sensational Max Verstappen effort put him on pole for Sunday’s race in Jeddah.
Pia✃stri admitted he was content with his lap time, notin🔴g the dangers of pushing beyond the limit at this circuit.
A📖sked if there was any potential left on the track, Piastri told Sky Sports: “Being realistic, not much.
“The last few hundredth🔯s around here co🌌me with a big price.
“In a lot of places it might be using a bit more kerb or runni🎃ng wide. Here, potentially you’ve got no morꦅe wheels left on your car!
“There are always little bits when you look back but it was a good lap. I was happy whe🦂n I crossed the line.
“Apart from one hundredth, it was good enough.”
Oscar Piastri points out difficulty at F1 Saudi Arabian GP
Piastri won the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix a week ago so entered Saudi A🃏rabiꦦa on-form.
He trails McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who leads the drivers’ stand🦋ings, by three points.
Verstappen is a furthe♎r five behind Piastri ahead of the fifth grand prix of 2025.
“It’s going to be a𒀰n inteꦕresting race. The tyres are softer than last year which will make it more difficult,” Piastri said.
“Our pace i♋s very str💖ong. In the races is generally where we seem good.
“On the flip♌ side, here is one of the worst tracks of the🔯 year for dirty air.
"Following a car - even in qualifying from a lot of seconds behind✤ - isn’t easy.
“In the race, ꩲI expect it to be difficult. I think we’ve got some pace and if I could get ahead at the start, it would make life easier.
ဣ“Bu𝓰t there will be opportunities later in the race.
“I expect it to be anything but straightforward…”
