168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris wants to discuss McLaren’s strategy after disagreeing with the team’s decision to pit him earlier than his rivals at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
The Briton held onto third place in the early stages of Sunday’s race at Suzuka but ultimately dropped behind Ferrari’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc and finished fifth.
Norris admitted he was frustrated to be “fighting a bit of a losing battle” against the Ferrari duo but also questioned McLaren’s call to pꩲit him early on Lap 12.
“It was a tough race,” Norris told Sky F1. “I think compared to those guys who had better pace, compa🍌red to the Ferraris, just♕ not enough.
“I think everything kind of fell back in-line in terms of Red Bull, Ferrari, us, which is a shame. It doesn’t feel great when you start third and just kind of go backwards and kind of feel like you’re just fighting a bit of a losing battle agai𓆏nst these guys because they can just do a lot more.
"They can go longeౠr and extend to have a much bigger tyre delta.

“It’s hard to fight on a track like this, but we𒁃 gave it a good shot, w🍃e did what we could have done. We’ve got the maximum points apart from these top two teams, which was all we could do.
“Charles did a good job to go that far on one set of tyres and then I’m kind of surprised we boxed as early as we did to be honest with you. Because that just put it in line with what Ferrari did, and we covered George [ౠRussell] which I just didn’t think we maybe needed to do.
“This is something we’ll discuss during the briefing. Maybe a discussion of we could have done a better j🍌ob for P4. It’s always difficult to make those decisions at the time, we didn’t even know that he was going to pit.”
Norris was quick to shoot down suggestions that McLaren and Ferrari are now𒀰 ‘neck-and-neck’ in t༺he battle behind Red Bull.
“No, Ferrari is c🉐learly ahead,” Norris insisted. “They’ve been ahead all ye൩ar, they’re still ahead.
“We’ve not changed anything, there’s no reason why we should bꦿe⛄ ahead.”
