‘It doesn’t make sense to me’ - Lando Norris confused by Canadian GP penalty
Norris crossed the line in ninth, just behind Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon, but dropped to 13th in t🎐he final classification.
The young British driver picked up a penalty after the stewards found that he had dropped too far back when coming into the pit lane under the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Safety Car.
Norris opened up a small gap to McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, who pitted in front of him, to reduce the impact of doubl🐟e-stacking in the pit lane.
Speaking about his penalty afteౠrwards, Norris said: “It doesn’t make sens𝕴e to me.
“I was three or four seconds down… I’m quite surprised. The ⭕rest of the race I was very happy with. There were some fun overtak✱es.
“♉Everyone leaves gaps [in safety car period]. It’s not like I w𒈔as 10 seconds down on my delta. If it’s a delta-difference, people should be given penalties for the last three or four years.”
Penalty aside, Norris drove a strong race, pulling off some impressive overtakes on Piastri and then 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas into the hairpin.
He nearly got past Ocon on the final lap as well.
“It was always about making the most of one ♍opportunity I had,” he aꦍdded.
“It wဣas🐬 a struggle, nothing was easy. Tough race, still managed to fight through which was nice.
“The pace was a bit 🌃better t🔯han the last few weekends. Hopefully we can take some step forwards next time out.”
