The British squad have endured a disappointing start to the season and had to wait until the third round in Australia to register their first points of 2023, a result that has lifted McLaren into fifth place in the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: constructors’ championship. 

McLaren admitted they were “not entirely happy” with the launch-spec version of their MCL60 after missing k🌱ey development targets over the winter, but are hopeful that long-awaited updates can help turnaroun🍨d their season. 

“I don’t want to get ahead of myself,” Norris said of the upgrades McLaren have brought to Baku. “Australia was definitely a better weekend for us. Things ꦺdefinitely went our way a little bit more.

“I think we were🐈 unlucky, which made things look worse than th𒁏ey were in the first two races. 

“We do have the upgrade. I think that was made clear and obv🅠ious very early on in the season. But what we have now, it’s what we should have started the year with.”

However, Norris cautioned that the impact of the upgrades could be smaller due to other teams bringin💞g their♌ own developments to Baku. 

“A lot of other teams also have upgrades, so our job is to try and bring slightly bigger things and try to play a littl🔥e bit of catch🃏-up,” he explained.

“I think what we have this weekend is just ꧒the 🍎baseline we should have started the year with and it’s about understanding what we have now. It’s a better baseline, it’s more room for opportunities and more room for improvements with what we have.

“I🅷t’s definitely going to make us take a small s𒁏tep forward, but to all the people who also bring upgrades, it’s going to be smaller. 

“I’m excited, the team did a very good job to bring these thi🦹ngs through and to get them ready, bu👍t it’s about maximising what we have now.”
