168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz has described McLaren’s dominant display at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday as “depressing for all” after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris stormed to an impressive F1 victory.

Norris claimed his second F1 victory by over 22 seconds, reducing Max Verstappen’s lead in the championship to 70ꦐ points with nine rounds to♎ go.

It was akin to♉ Red Bull’s dominance ✨from earlier in the season as Norris had a comfortable weekend.

After a poor qualifying display from Ferrari, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc 0.9s off pole position, while Sainz was out in Q2, the race proved to be sur😼prisingly strong for the Italian outfit.

Leclerc fended off168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Oscar Piastri to finish on the podium and Sainz recovered to secur▨e a top five fini🎃sh.

Speakinꦫg after the race at Za💞ndvoort, where were in the paddock, Sainz pointed out that McLaren’s dominance must have been done to Norris delivering a “very solid weekend”.

“Yeah but at least it's depressing for all, not just for Ferrari,” he explained. “I guess at least wꦇe're not behind the Red Bull....also Red Bull and Mercedes. We managed to pass a Red Bull today, actuallಌy caught up with a McLaren during the race.

“Lando must have done a really solid weekend. We have to give praise for that, Oscar is P4 so it's not like only McLaren was in a different league, I think Lando must have done a very solid weekendꦦ.”

Ferrari’s woes since Mo💧naco have been cured with bouncing remaining an issue for them.

As a result, they’re forced to ꦑcompromise with the car setup to ensure the bouncing doesಞn’t occur.

Sainz is hopeful upgrades coming in the next races will help eradicate these🐼 problems.

“Not very compromised but a little bit,” he said. “I hope once we unlock or discover wha🉐t is the actual thing that is generating this porpoising, which I feel like we're a step behind in understanding that.

“Hopefully with this n♚ew floor or new upgrades that we'll bring soo꧟n, these problems go away and we can just focus on adding downforce to the car.”
