McLaren team boss Andrea Stella has revealed they’ve made some “adjustments” to their F1 car to help 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris feel more at ease when driving.

Sinc༒e the start 🦩of the 2025 F1 season, Norris has complained about the unpredictability of this year’s McLaren challenger.

Despite Norris’ complaints, he is leading the F1 drivers’ championship, one point clear of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri enjoyed a decisඣive edge over Norris in final practic🌜e, topping the timesheets by over six-tenths.

Speaking in Friday’s press conference in Bahrain, Stella confirmed that Norris has struggled with a “particular phase of d💫riving the car.”

“I think on Lando’s side, there’s especially a particular phase of driving the💛 car that doesn’t make him entirely comfortable,” Stella explained.

“I think we’ve achieved a very good understanding of what that is. It would be inappropriate to share the detail💃s, but let me say that even for th𝕴is race, we’ve made some adjustments to the car – going back to some solutions that we think may improve the predictability of the car in relation to Lando’s driving input.

“So it’s actuall🍰y an interesting weekend even from this point of view, and we look forward to seeing what we will learn.”

Piastri “more confident” in qualifying

For Piastri, it’s ﷽been an impressiඣve turnaround, particularly over one lap.

Piastri was beaten 20-4 💙in the qualifying head-to-head last year, with Norris dominating the teammate ba🍬ttle on a Saturday.

While Norris leads this year’s battle 2-💮1 after three races, Piastri has proved to be a close match.

It can be argued that Piastri has looked faster at all three weekends - but has failed t🍨o maximis🥀e the pace of the MCL39.

Speaking about Piastri’s improvement, Stella said: “I think we see that Oscar is just more confident in qualifying. He’s just more capable of putting things together. I think he has more awareness, which comes with experience, which comes with all the analysis that has been going on during the winter. S♊o we see a stronger Oscar, like we see, as usual, a very strong Lando.

“But for me, again coming back to the competitiveness of McLaren, what I see – and I still look at quite a lot of telemetry myself – is two drivers that push each other and pick from each other. If you see Free Practice 1, they’re almost complementary as to where theyꦆ go fast and sl🦩ow. So they can see quite a lot of opportunities.

“And then I see the synergy. And the synergy means an elevation of the game. So for me, if aඣnything, that’s ▨what I see has mostly changed compared to the past.

“We can see it as car performance, but for me it’s a combination of car per🦩formance and what the drivers are able to achieve, ꦺelevating their own games.”
