Max Verstappen beaten by Lando Norris at F1 Australian Grand Prix

Norris secured his fifth F1 g𒉰rand prix win in Australia and justified the hype surrounding McLaren entering the new season.
Expected to have the fastest car, they only missed out on a one-🅷two finish because Oscar Piastri spun in the wet conditi🌸ons.
But Norris’ early win is a remindeﷺr that he is a key threat to Verstappen’s hope of a fifth consecutive drivers’ title.
Verstappen reflected: “I꧟t was a difficult race but at the end it was fun.
“Lando had a little moment on entry💯 of 6, so he lost a lot of momentum there and that is why I got close and I got the DRS.
“I got close but it's very hard to pass around 🦩🍒here.
“But it was fun those last laps, pushing at leaꦗst when you are fighting for the win. But I'm just very happy to bring it home, score good points, and this is a decent start🍬ing point for us."
Verstappen said about his RB21’s competitiveness: 𝐆"It is where I expected to be.
“You could se🍃e in that first stint that we were lacking a little bit of pace ♛compared to the McLaren, but it's still 18 points more than I had here last year, so I take that.”
After Piastri’s spin, Verstappen stayed out on slick ty൩res when most drivers were🍃 pitting for intermediates.
He explained: “[The McLarens] went off and I think it was a paniꦚc 'Oh, I need to box'. So when they came in, I st🅷ayed out.
“The first lap, honestly, I think it was alright but tꦬhen unfortunately, the weather continued a bit more on the other side💞 of the track and we then had to box.
“But I think at the end of the day, even if we had toꩵ box one lap earlier, we would have still been P2 anyway after that stop.
"I ꧋think it was worth the gamble. It was quite spicy with the sl✤ick tyres, but it was alright at the end."
McLaren also dealt an early blow to Red Bull in the constru🐭ctors’ champions🍌hip which they are defending.
Piastri recovered to a P9 finish while Red Bull’s new driver Liam Lawson was one of sꦚix drivers to crash out of 𓆏the grand prix.
