Lando Norris fears potentially “dangerous” 80km/h winds at Dutch GP
Lando Norris thinks conditions iꦦn Friday F1 practice could be "dangerous" if strong winds arrive as forecast at Zandvoort.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris is concerned that weather conditions during Friday practice at F1’s Dutch Grand Prix could potentially ꦅbe “dangeroဣus”.
There were already strong winds in the Zandvoort𓄧 p𝕴addock on Thursday but forecasts have predicted gusts of up to 80km/h on Friday, when F1’s opening two practice sessions will be held.
Norris warned that drivers could end up getting caught🧜 out by the wind and end up either “in the gravel or the wall”.
“It’s a lot trickier than people think,” the McLaren driver said. “I mean, even when it's 20-25km/h, it is already a lot. Even when it's no wind to 10km/h, you ꦇnotice the difference.
“When it's just a constant 25km/h it's difficult, but it's going to bဣe 40, 50, 60, 70, 80km/h... I've never experienced something like that.
“Obviously it ca🍸n be quite dangerous, because if you go into a corner at a certain speed, li🙈ke Turn 7, with a 60, 70, 80km/h wind, that changes the car.
“There's nothing you can do as a driver. You're going to be in the gravel or in th꧋e wall. I don't know what to expect.”
McLaren teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri said: “The amount of downforce youꦫ gain, or more importantly lose, depending on the direction of the wind is [massive].
“In some corners it will probably be like driving an F2 car tomorrow. It's a massive change and also very difficult for us𒈔 because of course we can't feel the wind that well.
“You can feel it pretty well when it's sideways, but when itꩵ's a headwind or a tailwind, it's not always that easy to tell. And ifꦕ you get a gust at the wrong moment, it's completely out of your control in some ways.
"I think it'll be🔜 a pretty interesting day, and an interesting weekend, with the wind and the rain.”
Ferrari’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc doubts there will be much action on track if th✤e winds are as strong as ex𝐆pected.
“I don't think there are🔯 any cars that are designed for the wind we have𒈔 forecasted for tomorrow,” the Monegasque said.
“I think it's up to 80km/h. I'm not sure there will be many cars on track in case it's ꦍthat way🍸.
“However, I think for Saturday and ღSunday, it calms down, but it still remains extre♉mely high wind.”
