168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris believes his near jump start at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was triggered bౠy a nearby light, or someone filming him.

The McLaren driver avoided a penalty despite appearing to jump the start in Jeddah after his car was seen briefly jolting forward, before stopping again, ♏aཧs the start procedure got underway.

Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell immediately reported Norris’ movement over team radio but the stewards decided to take no further action after it emerged that the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:FIA’s transponder had not been 🐠set off.

“I've never done this ever in my life,” Norris said ahead of this weekend’s Australian 𝔉Grand Prix. “Sin𝓡ce I did karting I've never done it, so I don't know what suddenly happened.

“You're so like just ready to go, but it's quite dark and the♚re are so many lights. So I don't know if I've juꦓst reacted to a light elsewhere, either in the corner of my eye or somewhere in front, from people videoing or whatever it is.

“I reacted to something, but obviously 🌱quickly enough managed to stop. Then I've hurt myself in terms of the actual run down to turn one. I don't know if ꦑI can answer why it happened.”

Norris admitted he had been expecting to r🌠ecᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeive a penalty.

“I was waiting for something, my engineer to ✨come across and tell me someth🌟ing, but never did,” he said.

“I don't know🐓 the true extent of how the rules work for it - at what point you have to be stopped, or how the transponder trigger works and all of these things.

“I was a little bit surprised. Yeah, but I didn😼't gain anything from it.”

However, he thought Sergio Pe♋rez’s creeping forward before the start was a more obvious penalty.

“This [Perez’s rolling] was more of a penalty than my one but it wasn't a penalty, right?” N𝄹orris added. “So again, I don't know what the ruling was for this and how they define this.

“In my eyes, you can easily sဣee my one as potentially it should be a bigger penalty because I'm what peop🐻le might think, pre-empting a start, which is normally the opposite, because I have terrible reactions.

“This one is a genuine advantage of actual starting procedure. My one, I wasn't trying to pre-empt:&🐲nbsp;I'm just trying to react. And I༒'ve accidentally reacted, which is a mistake

“Whereas what happened with ꦛhis car, and I don't know if he was doing it on purpose or what, so I can't comment on it, will help a start. But again, I don't know the rules are for it.”
