“We should have been P4” - Why Lando Norris wasn’t happy despite McLaren’s improvement
Norris qualified a superb seventh in a heavily-upgraded McLaren car to give the team their highest starting spot of F1 2023.

“I think definitely before today, 100% we would have taken [P7],” Norris said. “I think it’s a great re🐟sult I think with the sequence of the upgrades working well, the car working well on this circuit.
“At the same time, I feel like I did a better job of my driving꧒ and things, i🌌t should have been a lot better really. I think we should have been P4 today, so a bit disappointed honestly.
🌞“We as a team didn’t do the best job with making the correct decisions of what to do. But apart from that, things were positiv🎐e.”
McLaren have introduced a number of significant upgrades forღ this weekend’s r☂ace, including a new floor.
Norris feels that they’ve made a difference, but also🔜 pointed towards Baku’s track characteristics.
“We’ve been pushing hard to try and get som꧅e drag off the car we were running compared to where we have been on much lower downforce.
“The new floor’s working well a🥀nd just addin💞g these little things here and there always adds up.
“Also just this track, I think we’re good in the braking zones and maybe this ඣtrack suits us that little touch more.”
