Mercedes’168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell tipped the McLaren driver to potentially c꧒hallenge the Red Bulls at the front of the grid at Suzuka given their MCL60 has been competitive i🅺n high-speed corners. 

“Lando’s potentially one of the favourites for this weekend with their high-speed performance in the McLaren. But all the question marks are on Red Bull,” Russell said on Thursd𒐪ay. 

Informed of Russell’s predictio♉n, Norris, who finished second in Singapore, laughed: “Has he seen the rest of the season at all? Has he been watching t🔯he races?”

Norris finished third-fastest in both practice sessions on Friday and ended the day 0.464s off 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s chart-topping FP2 time. 

Asked if he felt good in the car, the Briton replied:  “No, not really. The pace was there. The pace has been pret𓂃ty good today, probably one of the closest times we’ve been to Red Bull and the front on a Friday. 

“So it’s encouraging from a pace point of view but the car feels pretty all over the place. I think it probably does for the majority. It’s very low grip, I don’t think it’s just us in particular it’s just a handful♌. 

“If we can just try and calm it down a little bit and get the balance together I think we can have a good day tomorrow. The pace is 🐼good, just diꦇfficult to drive.”

And Norris doubts challengin෴g for pole position will be a realistic aim for McLaren come qualifying. 

🥀“I doubt it’s going to be pole,” he said. “The Red Bulls are just doing normal Red Bulls at the minute. 

“I think we a🌱ren’t far away. I would say we normally g🌟et a bit closer when we go to low fuel and turn the engines up. I think challenging for pole is quite a big task and probably a bit too far. 

“But we have to try and challenge Mercede🍬s, the Ferraris and Astons. I think that wi⛦ll be our battle tomorrow.”
