168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris was pleased McLaren were able to “bounce back” as he clinched pole position for the F1 Qatar Grand Prix sprint race.

Norris dominated spri💟nt qualifying in Q𝕴atar as he topped the three segments.

The British driver’s first lap in SQ3 was good enough to claim pole ahead of Mercedes’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.

On a weekend where McLaren could win their first constructors’ title sinc🍸e 1998, it w🦩as a great start for the Woking outfit.

Reflecting on qualifying, Norris said 🎉in parc ferme: “It’s tough, because it’s so qui൩ck around here. It feels like the quickest circuit of the year. I mean, the final sector just feels like you’re hanging on.

“Great qualifying today, especially to bounce back from where we were last time out in Vegas, it’s a nice thing to do. Happy, it was a decent lap,ꦓ I made too many mistakes on my second. But we were coming here to get pole, and we did that, so job done for today.”

Cooler conditio🙈ns in Qatar have meant lap times are between five 🅠to six seconds faster than last year.

Norr🌄is conceded that this is making the high-speed Lusail circuit “a challengeಌ”.

“The wind plays a big part, but th♔e conditions are also a lot better than last season,” he added.

“Makes it a lot tougher physically, but also makes it a lot quicker to drive. I’m not, I don’t know, I struggle to, but I think some of the other cars are close to being flat through the corners in the final sector, an𒀰d that’s quite an🌸 accomplishment.

“It felt quick, and when it feels quick, it must be very fast, yo🐻u know? It’s a challenge out there, not easy to put a lap together, especially whꦗen the tires aren’t, they don’t feel in for the beginning, and through the lap you gain confidence. That’s been the challenge of today, but it’s paid off. We made some good improvements into qualifying and I was happy with it.”

Norris wary of Mercedes, Ferrari threat

Despite setting 𝐆the pace throughout qualifying, Norris is still wary of Ferrari and Mercedes’ pace.

“I mean I want to win,” he added. “We want to win every se🦩ssion as drivers. Our target is a 1-2, we want to maximize points for our constructors’ today. Yeah. We want to go for it.

“We know it’ll be a battle, Mercedes will be quick, Ferrari will be fast. So not expecting an easy one, probably expecting an exciting one for everyone watc💖hing. Looking forward to it tomorrow.”
