Norri🔯s was a surprise early exit in qualifying as he wa🌠s knocked out in the first segment.

McLaren were one of three teams to send their𒈔 drivers out on the medium tyres in Q1.

Unlike Ferrari and Mercedes, McLaren called Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri in early 🦹to pit for a new s🌜et of tyres without a lap time on the board.

With four 🅠minutes to goꦓ, McLaren sent their drivers back out with enough time to complete two flying laps.

Norris made a mistake on his first soft lap in the middle sector, while yellow flags caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso ruined his second attempt.

Despite the untimely McLaren pit call, Norris cited “some mistakes” f�ജ�or his premature exit.

“🐼I got told to box fo🏅r some reason, [but] the pace was good," Norris said. “Something obviously wasn't right, but that wasn't a problem.

“I just made some mistakes on my one lap that I had. Obviously there was a yellow in the end from Fernando. So yeah, that one opportunity, that one lap that 𓄧I was given, I didn't put it together. It went off and that was it. We turned around and went straight back out

“We will speak abou🐭t it after, but I had onꦜe lap and I didn't do it. So it is on me.”
