Reflecting on his💙 race in Melbourne, Norris was left to rue McLaren’s strategy choices.

“It was a very good day for us,🍸” Norris said. “I'm very happy and proud of the team as P3 and P4 are a lot of points in the championship, so that's the first thing.

“We mis🌳sed out on Charles, I think our pace was a little bit better. He undercut us in the first stint so maybe a little bit of h🌌ope for second place.

“I think our pace was strong enough today. But Ferrari and Carlos did a very good job, so hats off to themജ.

“They've been fast all weekend. I felt like I could manage the tyres very well today and that wa൩s a good step. [I] probably wasn't expec꧅ting to be on the podium so I'm very happy.”

The 24-year-old still feels that Ferrari and Red Bull are a “step” ahead even 🎃though he finished in close proximity to 👍Leclerc.

“It's clear that th✨is circuit suits us a little bit more, we’ve been able to pus🗹h and unlock a little bit of speed,” he added.

“✤But it's still another st💝ep to Ferrari and to Red Bull. They’re one or two steps ahead of us still, so we need to catch up.

“But it's clear that we're getting closer andꦿ a day like today proves exactly that.

🤡“So a big thanks to all and McLaren. We're getting closer to our target. It's nice to be back on the podium again and hopefully we can have many more.”
