Lando Norris says McLaren atmosphere “great” despite Daniel Ricciardo’s departure

Piastri will drive for McLaren in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 season - it emerged that he signed a contract on July 4, nine days before 🏅Ricciardo claimed he would not “walk away” from the t🗹eam.
Ricciardo, after the final year of his McLaren deal was paid off, is searching for opportunities to remain in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up amid some of the poorest form of his career.
Norris said about the atmosphere at McLaren after qualifying in seventh at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Dutch Grand Prix to Sky: “It is still great, even from ജDaniel’s side.
“You understand when peo🔴ple put in effort and when people don’t care. You see how much Daniel still tries to understand it all, putting in time and effort.
“Daniel will be more motivated than ever to🀅 end on a high.
“It’s still good. ♌The mechanics arꦐe loving it. The team is energised.
“It’s tough because running foꦓr P10 and P12 is not what you want. There are still glimpses of ‘this is where we can be’.”

Norris said about Piastri becoming his 🐟new෴ teammate next season: “I am looking forward to working with someone new, it will be different. You talk in different ways, and understand each other differently.
“It wi📖ll be a big challenge for me, a new challenge for me and the whole team.
“I don’t know Osc✤ar too well. I’ve only spoken to him twice, ever. But he is obviously a good talent.”
Ricciardo endured a disappointing qualifying, finishing in 17th, then said to Sky: “It was going OK. It ൩wasn’t electrifying but it was OK. Coming up to the last corner there was dirt everywhere so I lost three-tenths of a second. That was the difference.”
McLaren were fined&ﷺnbsp;€5000 for an unsafe release of Norris in Q1.
