Lando Norris’ self-critical mind-set could “spiral” and “get worse” which would benefit 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri, he has been warned.

McLaren driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris wears his heart on his sleeve with e𒉰motional po👍st-session interviews, which can often be brutally honest about his own shortcomings.

Teammate Piastri has a far more orthodox approach to batting away questions about his perf𒀰ormance.

The McLaren drivers lead the F1 drivers’ championship -𒆙 Norris is three points clear of Piastri - before this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

But 𒐪the pendulum swung in Piastri’s favour a week ago w🀅hen he won the Bahrain Grand Prix, and appeared more comfortable driving the McLaren than his teammate.

“Oscar is leaning into the approach that he has, and it’s working well for him,” Jamie Chadwick told Sky S🧸por♐ts about his mind-set.

“I don’t think there is a right or wrong. As a sportsperson you can be the best version of yourself꧑ possible.

“But in𒉰 this instance, I just don’t know why Lando ꧙feels like that.

“He’s got a great car,𓃲 he’s a great driver, he’s got a great opportunity to win a world ꧋championship.

“Why isn’t everyone around him telling him that? Why isn’t he telling himself that?
“Okay, we all make mistakes. But constantly beating him🧔self up, every time, seems like a spiral which will only get 📖worse.”

Martin 📖Brundle defended Norris’ right to express himself honestly - but highlighted why it might delight Max Verstappen or George Russell.

“That’s how🔯 he rocks and r✨olls,” Brundle said about Norris.

“We’re all different, thank goodness.

“He seems to ﷽need to give himself pain if the car isn’t quite right.

“The problem is, it feeds his rivals. It feeds Max, it feeds George. “Particularly, it feeds Oscar when you hear somebody showing vulnera🔴bility.”

Lando Norris 'unbeatable, if...'

Another issue facing Norris as F1 headꦉs to Jeddah is that Piastri appeared significantly happier with driving the McLaren a week ago in Bahrain.

“The car is fast, pr🍸obably a tenth faster than anybody else,” Brundle said.

“But it’s got a very clever fron🎐t suspension system on it which is very aerodynamic. That’s the purౠpose of an extreme design geometry.

“I think it has taken away steering feel, but i💯t’s an im𝓡provement overall.

“I think Lando is struggling, wꦇith less speꦇed, to drive around it.”

Chadwick added: “It’s difficult to adap🦩t, even harder when your teammate is adapting quicker.

“Whether🧔 Oscar is fully happy or not, I’m sure he’ll lead the team in that direction to make sure he has an advantage, in that sense.

“As a team, t❀hey are used to having two drivers that lead the team in a direction which makes the car for them to drive.

“It’s not like other team💞s in the pitlane whose car is always a handful🔴.”

Brundle replied to a question about McLaren’s top dog: “I think they are equal No1s with matching☂ talents.

“If Lando brings his A-game in every grand prix, and he gets out in front, hಌe’s pretty unbeatable.

“But there’s a lot of ‘ifs’ there…”
