168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris says he “expected a bit more” from his McLaren F1 car despite taking pole position at the Singapore Grand Prix💃.

Norris was 0.203 seconds quicker than title rival168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen in a one-la⛄p shootout for pole as the two championship protagonists locked out the ꦛfront-row of the grid in qualifying.

But the Briton was not entire🎉ly satisfied with his lap, admitting it was “not particularly good”.

“Just because it’s difficult. It’s hard to do everything around here🧸 in one lap,” he expla🤡ined.

“So I was a bit down in the first sector, probably a couple of tenths, and then I felt like I had to try and push a bit har🌌der in the middle sector to make up for it and that kind of thing.

“But it still felt good. We’ve been good 𒐪all weekend. Just struggled to progress much from practice into quali. We just found a good set-up there and stuck and didn’t really progress at all, r🍸eally.

“I went only a touch quicker than what I did in FP3. So I expected a bit more and probably found it a bit more difficult than I would have liked in꧋ Q1, Q2 and Q3.

“But the car’s been amazing all weekend, s﷽o it felt good 💯and felt comfortable just to go out and put the lap in.”

Norris added: “I th꧑ink we’ve just done a very good job at arriving at the track and the car works well.

“I mean, we 💧haven’t touched the car all weekend. Mainly b🧸ecause no matter what we do, it doesn’t really make much difference.

“We’ve kind of just had the car and not had to d💖o a lot to it, but that’s also a good thing in👍 many ways.

“But it was sti🔯ll a handful to drive in the end, like the Q3 lap at the end was tough with locking, with the bumps.

“I made quite a few mistakes, so the car was still tricky to drive, but very quick. And that just allows me to drive at 99% and still 🦹deliver, so just a combination of several things.”

Norris goes into Sunday’𓂃s race hoping to further eat into Verstappen’s 59-point championship lead.

Asked how confident he is, Norris repliඣed: "I mean, quite a bit. We’ve been very good all weekღend. People have caught up, clearly.

“We’ve gone into quali there and clearly Max improved a lot from yesterday into today. Mercedes as well, they were very quick in Q2, so they wꦿere there꧃.

“They were up there on my tails, a bit close for my liking, comparing toཧ what I had in FP3 and things.

“But I’m confident that the car is good in both quali anꦗd race. We showed that already on Friday.

“So I’m confident if I can just get ahead, then I get🐎 my head down and can go away.”
