168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris says anybody who doubted whether168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen and Red Bull could turnaround their form in time🐼 for qualifying is “ꦍa bit stupid”.
Verstappen and Red Bull endu✃red a tough start to the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend as the three-time world champion struggled with his RB20 car throughout both practice sessions on Friday, as well as final practice on Saturday morning.
The Dutchman did not top any session heading into qualifying but managed to turn things around when it mattered most, edging the McLaren duo of168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri and Norris to claim a record-t💞ying eighth consec💝utive pole position.
“I know Max hasn’🌼t had the smoothest weekend but I think if anyone doubting Red Buܫll or him coming back and doing a good job in qualifying, they’re a bit stupid,” Norris, who missed out on pole by 0.091 seconds and qualified third, said.
“I really expected him to be back on track, annoying to miss out to him once agaꦆin in qualifying. But we’re c🎃lose and I think we’re happy as a team.
“We’ve all performed. If we can continue and have strong race pace like we had yesterday a♛nd like we had in Miami I think we can have a good race.”
Asked where he ranks thi✤s pole compared to his others, Verstappen replied: “In the last couple years it is definitely one of the best I would say, because it's been a while that I felt like, we've been that far off.
“I mean, Singapore, we were off the whole weekend, so that was just a terrible🌟 weekend. But here we were also quite far off and then we managed to turn i🏅t around. So it must be at least five, six years, I don't really remember being able to turn it around like that.
“We kept on working,” he continued. “Even this morning, it was not good. Just🧔 kept o꧑n trying to improve the balance of the car, because it was shifting a bit all over the place yesterday and this morning.
“I honestly went into qualifying like 'if we could get to♛p five, I would be happy because this weekend has been really difficult'. There was reall✤y no reference going into qualifying.”
