Norris was one of several♌ drivers to be punished for track limits of💫fences which dominated a farcical end to qualifying as Losail hosted F1 for the first time since 2021.

The Briton had posted a lap time good enouไgh to earn a front-row starting spot for Sunday’s grand prix but dropped back to 10th on the grid after running too wide through Turn 10. 

Norris’ McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri thought he had bꦐeen promoted to third, only for his own lap time to be deleted while conducting the post-session🦩 interviews, leading to confusion in parc ferme. 

Piastri subsequently fell to sixth, with both Mercedes drivers benefitting as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell and Hamilton moved up to secon꧅d and third respectively. 

But Hamilton feels the enforcement of track limits in Qatar wꦅas ultimately unnecessary. 

“I think these new ker🎀bs are great,” the seven-time world champion said in the post-qualifying press𒆙 conference.  

“When when I went around the ꧑track yesterday on the scooter, I thought the kerbs are quite big, but I think they're actually really good. I think when you go b𝓀eyond the highest point of the kerb, you lose time.

“So I don’t feel at this track we need to have track limits. It was something the new stewards brought in a couple of years ago. And y♑eah… Lando should be up here.

෴“I think it’s a good learning. We can take these kerbs to a bunch of other tracks because obviously MotoGP are fine with these kerbs. 

“We can have the𝔉se in like Austria for example. As I said, 🍌when you go beyond them, you should be able to utilise as much as possible, but when you go beyond them, you lose time. 

“So it shouldn’t be the white line necessary, bu🌠t anyways, it’s not f🐬or me to decide.” 

Hamilton’s teammate Russe🃏ll said: “I can't really speak for the others just it's very challenging out there. You got to 𝓡be very, very precise. We're talking millimetres sometimes. 

“I've had no track limits, 🍒but two weeks ago﷽, I crashed into the wall and lost the podium. That was a small track limits there. 

“So yeah, not too sure. I don't know. But definitely it is a bit frustratꦗing when we go to great circuits. 

“This is a really great circuit, but then it's so difficult to know where that limit is, where the edge is, and we need to find a better so🐲lution for the future.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, who only needed one run in Q3 to storm to his 10th pole position of t𝔍he season, prefers how track limits is dealt with at old-school venues like Suꦚzuka. 

"It's always tough, honestly. It's easy to go just over it. I do think these kerbs are a little bꦗit better,” he said. 

“I don't think people who went wide actually gained time, it's just a bit annoying, bec🗹ause if💖 you go a little bit wider you bottom out and you damage your your floor potentially and you definitely lose time. 

“So I thꦚink that has been already a big positive compared to the last time that we were here. 

“I think, why don't we really🦋 see track limits for example, in Suzuka, is because it's li🥂ke old school. If you go off, there's immediate gravel. 

“Of course, already in some places, in Suzuka, you have these double kerbs, and there might be track limits in some places, but in the older places, which they haven't touched you ne☂ver talk about tra꧟ck limits. 

“I would always prefer to see that kind of style of racing. But of course, some places we share ꦐwith bikes and they like a bit more run-off. 

“We always have to try and find a co🌳mpromise but sometimes it hurts them and sometimes it hurts♏ us a little bit more.”
