Norris started on the front-row alongside168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen but ended up slipping down the order after making the switch to intermediate tyres later than his riva♑ls when an early deluge hit. 

Although Norris recovered to seventh, two places ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella felt his side sꦚhould have come away from Zandvoort with a stronger result. 

Asked by mahbx.com whether he💫 considered the result a mis🦩sed opportunity, Stella replied: “Yes.

“In two ways it is a missed opportunity. It might have been a bit lost in the noise, but 🐲actually Oscar, who stayed out, he was coming through very fast and he was in a strong position.&n🃏bsp;

“Unfortunately he locked up the front tyres in Turn 1 and he♉ needed to pit. And then once he pitted, the Safety Car came out. 

“So we had the double𒆙 hit with Oscar, that he had this lock-up, while he was overtaking Magnussen, and then the Safety Car coming👍 out. 

“But Oscar’s strategy was actually putting him ahead of Albon, who 𒐪was racing in P6 after the Safety Car and Oscar was clearly ahead. So there’s a missed opportunity there. 

“And the🔯re’s definitely a missed opportunity with Lando 🌞in not executing the race perfectly today, because we hesitated too much in pitting while it was raining.”

When press🗹ed on whether he felt a podium was on the cards, Stella said: “Potentially. I think Fernando was ahead of Lando, because he was ahead of him on track. 

“So fair play to Fernando that he gained the position on tr😼ack. But behind Fernando, it could have been the position for Lando to finish on. 🌠;

“So definit🌜ely the missed oppo𝔍rtunity includes a potentially missed podium.” 

Stella confirmed that McLaren will review their comm🐼unications, something Norris noted afte♚r the race, lamenting that “nothing was clear enough”.

“There was j🎀ust different information. Nothing was clear enough,” Norris told Sky. 

“It’s up to us. At the time, you do the best that you can. It’s hard enough to keep it on track in the first place. That’s the first chal🎐lenge I’vℱe got to think of. 

“On the second lap when I was so easily overtaken by Perez, I was surprised that we ✤stayed ไout. A lot goes through my head at that time!” 

The Briton added: “It’s clear we made the wrong decision, we made a b𒉰ad decision, it’s something we’ll talk about and review. 

"We𒅌’ve made🍬 a couple this season, we’ve lost too many positions and too many points with a coupe of these things.”
