Lando Norris “expected a bit more” despite Singapore F1 pole
Lando Norris was not entirely satisfied with his pole positio▨n lap at the Singapore Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris says he “expected a bit more” from his McLaren F1 car d🐽espite taking pole position at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Norris was 0.203 seconds quicker than title rival168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen in a one-lap shootout for pole as the two championship protagonists locked ou🍬t the front-row🔥 of the grid in qualifying.
Bu🙈t the Briton was not entirely satisfied with his lap, admitting it was “not particularly good”.
“Just because it’s difficult. It’s hard to do everything 🍌around here in one la♏p,” he explained.
“So I was a bit down in the first sector, probably a couple of tenths, and then I felt lik💃e I had to tr൩y and push a bit harder in the middle sector to make up for it and that kind of thing.
“But it still felt good. We’ve been good all weeken🐓d. Just struggled to progress much from practice into quali. We just found a good set-up there and stuck and didn’t really progress at all, really.
“I went only a touch quicker than what I did in FP3. So I expected a bit ꦇmore and🉐 probably found it a bit more difficult than I would have liked in Q1, Q2 and Q3.
“But the car’s been amazing all weekend, so it felt good and f꧑elt comfortable just to go out and put the lap in.”

Norris added:ꦜ “I think we’ve just done a very good job at arriving at the track and the car works wel♔l.
“I mea💦n, we haven’t touched the car all weekend. Mai🍷nly because no matter what we do, it doesn’t really make much difference.
“We’ve kind of just had the car and not had to do a l✃ot to it, but that’s also a good thing 🐎in many ways.
“But it was still a han🤡dful to drive in the end, like the Q3 lap at the end was tough with locking, with the bumps.
“I made quite a few mistakes, so the car was still tricky to drive, but very quick. And that just allows me to drive at 99% and still deliver, soꩵ just a combination of several things.”
Norris goes into Sunday’s race hoping to f๊urther eat into Verstappen’s 5🌼9-point championship lead.
Asked how confident he is, Norris replied: "I mean, quite a bit. We’ve been very good a💟ll weekend. People have caught up🍃, clearly.
“We’ve gone into quali there and clearly Max improved a lot from yesterday into today. Mercedes as well, they were very quick in Q2, so they were there𝐆.
“They were up there on my tails, a bit close for my liking, comparing to whaꦉt I had in🍸 FP3 and things.
“But I’m confident that the car is good in both quali and race. We showed that already on F🎃ridꩲay.
“So I’m confi💦dent if I can just get ahead, then I get my heaꦉd down and can go away.”
