Lando Norris says McLaren atmosphere “great” despite Daniel Ricciardo’s departure

Piastri will drive for McLaren in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 season - it emerged that he s♔igned a contract on July 4, nine days before Ricciardo claimed he would not “walk away” from the team.
Ricciardo, after the final year of his McLaren deal was paid off, is searching for opportunities to remain in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 driver line-up amid some of the poorest form of his career.
Norris said about the atmosphere at McLaren after qualifying in seventh at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Dutch Grand Prix to Sky: “It is st꧃ill great, evไen from Daniel’s side.
“You understand when 🌼people put in effort and when people don’t care. You see how much Daniel still tries to understand it all, putting in time and effort.
“Daniel will be more motivated than ever to e﷽nd on a high.
“It’s still goo🐻d. The mechanics are loving it. The team i꧒s energised.
“It’s tough because running for P1🔥0 and P12 is not what you want. There are still glimpses of ‘this is where we can be’.”

Norris said about Piast🔥ri becoming his new teammate next season: “I am looking forward to working with someone new, it will be different. You talk in different ways, and understand each other differently.
“It will be a big challenge for me, a new challenge for me and the who♒le team.
“I don’🐼t know Oscar too🐎 well. I’ve only spoken to him twice, ever. But he is obviously a good talent.”
Ri𓂃c๊ciardo endured a disappointing qualifying, finishing in 17th, then said to Sky: “It was going OK. It wasn’t electrifying but it was OK. Coming up to the last corner there was dirt everywhere so I lost three-tenths of a second. That was the difference.”
