Reflecting on his race in Melbour⛦ne, 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 o🌟f the team as P3 and P4 are a lot of points in the championship, so that's the first thing.

“We missed out on Charles, I think our pace was a litt✱le bit better. He undercut us in the first stint so maybe a little bit of hope for second place.

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

“They've been fast all weekend. I felt like I could manage the tyres very well today and that was a good step. [I] probably wasn't expecting to be on the podium s🐟o I'm very happy.”

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

“It's clear ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthat this circuit suits us a little bit more, we’ve been able to push and unlඣock a little bit of speed,” he added.

“But it's still another ste♛p to Ferrari and to Red Bull. They’r𝓡e one or two steps ahead of us still, so we need to catch up.

“But it's clear that we're getting closer and a day like toda✅y proves exactly that.

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