Lando Norris “sad it’s not proper qualifying” after “all-or-nothing” lap
Lando Norris wishes his pole lap was for the F1 Chin꧑ese Grand Prix - rather than the sprint race.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris admitted he is “sad” his pole position for the F1 Chiౠnese Grꦍand Prix sprint race was not set in “proper qualifying”.
The McLaren driver beat 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton to claim pole for the first sprint race of🍃 the season by 1.2 seconds in🧸 a chaotic and rain-hit qualifying session in Shanghai.
Norris had his fastest lap deleted for a track limits infringement before it was reinstated in✱ the closing minutes of a dramatic qualifying session.
“I didn't do the first few two laps like well at all and 🐽I got a good final one: a good enough one for pole. So I'm happy. Sad it is not for proper qualifying, but good enough,” Norris said.
The Briton🍨 said he took a𒉰n “all-or-nothing” approach to secure pole with his last lap of SQ3 after aborting his previous two efforts.
"It was tricky," he explained. “You’re always nervous going into a session like this, especially for quali when you know it's going to rain. I know I was quite happy with how it was in the dry; I think we have had good pa💫ce all weekend so far.
"So I got a bit nervous but the conditions were you have jus✨t got to risk a lot, you have got to push, build tyre temperature and so forth.
"The first two I aborted on both💙, so I was like: the last lap was all or nothing. But it's getting🐼 wetter and wetter. So actually the conditions for the final two laps were a lot worse than the second lap at least.
"I was a little bit nervous that I made a few mistakes, started to aquaplane quite a bit. But it's good fun. It gets💙 your heart going. To end ♋up on top is exactly what we wanted.”
Norris will have an opportunity to claim his first F1 win in Saturday’s sprint rac💃e.
“We did some of our work this morning, we did some consecutive laps to try and understand. But it depends what the weather is. There’s still a chance of rain tomorrow, so if it’s like this, then I think the chances are relatively d🔯ecent,” he said of his victory chances.
“But the race is still very different to qualifying so I’m sure everᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚyone’s goin꧒g to catch up a bit tomorrow. But the pace is good whether it’s wet or dry, and I think we’re in a good position.”
