Mercedes’168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell tipped the McLaren driver to potentially challenge the Red Bulls at the front of the grid at Suzuka given their MCL60 has been competitive in high-speed co🅠rners. 

“Lando’s potentially one of the favourites for this weekend with their hig🐎h-speed performance in the McLaren. But all the question marks are on Red Bull,” Russell said on Thursday. 

Informed of ♔Russell’s prediction, Norris, who finishᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚed second in Singapore, laughed: “Has he seen the rest of the season at all? Has he been watching the races?”

Norris finished third-fastest in both practice sessions on Friday and ended the day 0.464s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s chart-topping FP2 time. 

Asked if he felt good in the car, the Briton replied:  “No, not really. The pace was there. The pace has been pretty good today, probably one 𒁏of the closest times we’ve been to Red Bull a🐲nd the front on a Friday. 

“So it’s encouraging from a pace point of view but the car feels pretty all over the place. I think it probably does for the majority. It’s very low grip, I don’t thi🔴nk it’s just ♎us in particular it’s just a handful. 

“If we can just try and calm it down a little bit and get the balance together I think we can have a good day ✱tomorrow. The pace is good, just difficult to drive.”

And Norris doubts challenging for pole position will be a realistic aim for McLaren come qualifyingꦆ.&nbꦉsp;

“I doubt it’s going to be pole,” he said. “The Red Bulls ওare just doing nor𝓰mal Red Bulls at the minute. 

“I think we aren’t far away. I would say we normꦡally get a bit closer when ꧙we go to low fuel and turn the engines up. I think challenging for pole is quite a big task and probably a bit too far. 

“But we have to try and challenge Mercedes, the Ferraris and Astons. I think that will be our battle t꧂omorrow.”
