Verstappen won the opening two rounds of the year in Ba🐎hrain with relative ease.

However, Norris isn’t worried given that teams behind the🌜m have “been 🌟able to close the gap”.

“No, I don’t think it was concerning at all honestly. I think yeah considering how much we’ve still have been able to close the gap,” ♏he said.

“Considering you know that they spent ✱a lot of time developing and making a ne🍸w car for this year, I’m pretty happy with how close we [McLaren] were to Red Bull.

“Even in qualifying you know it wasn’t like🐠 he had an easy one and was that convincing. So I’m sure they are still learning about the car, it’s a very different concept they have.

“But yeah it’s one that I think everyone should expect you know they started their development on that car a long time be♛fore everyone else so you’re not surprised at all but actually you’re surprised at how close you were and how close a lot of teams were.

“Even when you look at Carlos [Sainz] relative to Sergio [Perez in Bahrain] and if Carlos wasn’t stuck behind Sergio in the middle stint like he was, the gap wouldn’t have been probably even as big. So yeah I think signs of hope for eve༺ryone I would say.”

On the other hand, Sauber driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas described Red Bull’s form as “a bit concerning”.

“It’s been quite 🦄a clean sweep for the last two races for ꦫRed Bull and Max, so it’s a bit concerning,” Bottas added.
