Lando Norris said he had “no𝓡 idea” what went wrong in qualifying for the F1 Bahrain 🎃Grand Prix.

Norris made a mꦜistake on his final lap in Q3, meaning he didn’t improve his lap time.

This means that Norris is set to start Sunday’s race in Bahrain from sixth on the grid, just one place ahead of F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

On the other side of the McLaren garage, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri beat 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to take his second pole position of the year.

Norris cut a frustrated figure after qualifying in his inte๊rview w✤ith Sky Sports.

Reflecting on qualifꦑying, Norris said: “No. I didn’t even go a tenth quicker. I am just not quick e🀅nough.”

When pressed on ♒what went wrong, he added: “No idea. Honestlꦡy, no idea. Just not quick enough.

“It’s just another day. Look into things. See why I was struggling so much today and try again tom꧙orrow.”

Shortly after Norris’ interview, Sky Sports pundit Naomi Schiff said that “you caꦆn understand why he’s demotivat♎ed” after qualifying.

“I mean you can understand why👍 he’s demotivated,” Schiff said. “His teammate is on pole position. What an incredible result for Oscar Piastri to put it on pole position. Lando was dowဣn by three tenths in the first sector and basically from there it’s already a lost battle.

“Unfortuꦇnately for him that’s exactly what cost him. Whilst he’s a bit deflated in saying he doesn’t have the answers, that’s just because he wanted to be on pole position and not far down the order when his teammate is on pole.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris has “looked behind” since FP2

ဣEx-F1 driver Karun Chandhok wasn’t surprised to see Norris look off the pace relative to Piastri.

Even without his mistake at Turn 1, Chandhok felt that Piastri would have taken pole p🅘osition regar🐼dless.

“He’s looked behind hasn’t he? He’s looked🅷 behind since FP2,🐓” Chandhok said.

“He was behind in Q2 as we🧔ll. He lost the three-tenths there. He would have been in the mix with George but still been behind Oscar.

“You don’t like being beaten by your teammate and to be sixth on the grid on a🌳 weekend where all weekend we’ve talked about a McLaren 1-2, inter-team battle, he’s now got five other people in front.”
