168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris is hoping that McLaren’s decision to run lower downforce will pay off in Sunday’s F1 Belgian Grand Prix.

After s﷽howing impressive pace in dry conditions onജ Friday, Norris could only secure fourth on the grid for tomorrow’s race.

McLaren’s lack of pace in the middle sectorꩵ - the high downforce part of the lap - was apparent throughout qualifying.

Norris did well to recover to qualify fifth (before168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s penalty) after nearly dropping out in Q1.

Reflecting on qualifyin꧑g, Norris conceded he’s not clicked with his McLare𝔍n F1 car.

“The whole weekend the Red Bull has been a step ahead of us even if we were a bit quicke🦩r yesterday,” he said. “I just think Red Bull didn’t show th꧅eir cards at all - and we did.

“What we did yesterday was pretty much all we got. I think going into today we were opt💛imistic still. I was just struggling a bit myself. Oscar was almost quickest in the first two sessions. Q3, I think both just struggled a little bit more.

“Just from my side, I just haven’t been able to click ve𝔉ry well today. I was always one step behind. I was always a little bit on the backfoot. To come away with a P5, I was actually sur🎉prised with and therefore happy with it.

“It’s not the 𒈔result I wanted honestly. Still got to overtake some quick cars like the Red Bull of Perez.”

Norris confirmed that McLaren have opted to run with “slightly low꧋er downforce” in preparation for a dry race.

It means McLaren will have more straight-line s♉peed as they look to move up the order i𒅌n the race.

“The slightly lower downforce that we have potentially has hurt us ꦓa little bit today and hopefu🌌lly will pay us back tomorrow,” he explained.

“I was struggling a lot out there, honestly. Just with a bit of confidence. High-speed. I was a little bi♏t more confident at the end of yesterday. I just haven’t clicked as much as🐲 I did in the previous races. It sounds terrible but I have to try very hard to try and understand the car in every corner whereas the last few weeks, months it’s been a lot more natural.

“Maybe just one of those weekends so far. We will work hard overnight to ma๊ke sure we’re as prepared as we can be tomorrow.”
