McLaren driver168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris isn’t ‘concerned’ by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s dominant start to the 2024 F1 season. 

Verstappen won the opening two rounds of the year ♋in Bahrain with relative ease.

In the season-opener💙, he finished over 20 seconds ahead of🐬 teammate Sergio Perez.

The 🌄gap was under 10 seconds in Saudi Arabia before Perez’s time penalty for an unsafe releꦍase.

Still, Red Bull took 1-2 finishes in both events, meaning the team have won 🍸23 out of the last 24 races.

Howev🌱er, Norris isn’t worried given that teams behind them have “been able to close the gap”.

“No, I don’t think it was concerning at all honestly. I think yeah considering how much we’ve still have been able to🐬 close the gap,” he said.

“Considering you know that they spent a lot of time developing and making a new car for this y💦ear, I’m pretty happy with how close we [McLaren] were to Red Bull.

“Even in qualifying you know it wasn’t like he had an easy one and was that convincing. So I’m sure they are still learn🌟ing about the car, it’s a very different concept they have.

“But yeah it’s one that I think everyone should expect you know they started their devel🌳opment on that car a long time before everyone else so you’re not surprised at all but actually you’re surprised at how close you were and how close a lot of teams were.

“Even when you look at Carlos [Sainz] relative to Sergio [Perez in Bahrain] and if Carlos wasn’t stuck behind Sergio in the middle stint like he was, the g൩ap wouldn’t have been probably even as big. So yeah I think signs of hope for everyone I would say.”

On the other hand, Sauber driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas described Red Bull’s form as “a bit concerning”.

𓂃“It’s been quite a clean sweep for the last two races for Red Bull and Max, so it’s a bit concerning,” Bottas added.

“Obviously, it doesn’t 𒁃change our focus and our battles on track but for the whole wide world, it could be a bit like last year. But let’s hope things change during the year.”
