‘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 dropped𒈔 to 13th in the 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 double-stack💦ing in the pit lane.
Speakin🦩g about his penalty afterwards, Norris said: “It doesn’t make sense 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 overtakes.
“Everyone leaves gaps [in safety car period].🍸 It’s not like I was 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 added.
“It was a struggle, nothing was easy. Tough race, st🦄ill managed to fight through which was nice.
“The pace was aℱ bit better than the last few weekends. Hopefully we can take some step forwards next time out.”
