Norris opened up a small gap to McLaren teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri, who pitted in front of him, to reduce the impact of double-stacking in the pi𝔍t lane.

Spe💛aking about his penalty afterwards, Norris said: “It doesn’t make sense to me.

“I was three or four seconds down… I’m quite surꩵprised. The rest of the race I was very 🅺happy with. There were some fun overtakes.

“Everyone leaves gaps [in safety car period]. It’s not like I was 10 seconds down on my delta.൩ If it’s a delta-difference, people should be given penalties for the last three or four years.”

He nearly got past Ocon on the final lap as well.

“It was always ab🦋out ma💃king the most of one opportunity I had,” he added.

“It was a struဣggle, n⛄othing was easy. Tough race, still managed to fight through which was nice.

“The pace was a bit better than the last few weekends. Hopefully we can take some ste🅰p forwards next time out.”
