Norris started on the front-row alongside168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen but ended up slipping down the order after making the switch to intermediate tyres later than his ri🐽vals when an early deluge hit. 

Although Norris recovered to seventh, two places ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, McLaren team prไincipal Andrea Stella felt his side should have come away from Zandvoort with a stronger🦄 result. 

Asked by ltxcn.top whether he considered the result a missed opportunity, 🍌Stella replied: “Yes.

“In ♚two ways it is a missed opportunity. It m🍸ight have been a bit lost in the noise, but actually Oscar, who stayed out, he was coming through very fast and he was in a strong position. 

“Unfortunately he locked up t🎐he front tyres in Tu💙rn 1 and he needed to pit. And then once he pitted, the Safety Car came out. 

“So we had the double hit with Oscar, that he had this lock-up, while he was overtakingꦅ Magnussen, and then the Safety Car coming out. 

“But Oscar’s strategy was actually putting him ahead of Albon, who 🧸was racing in P6 after the Safety Car and Oscar was clearly ahead. So there’s a missed opportunity there. 

“And there’s definitely a missed opportunity with Lando in not executing the race perf𒀰ectly today, ♚because we hesitated too much in pitting while it was raining.”

When pressed on whether he felt a podium was on the cards, Stella said: “Potentially♈. I think Fernando was ahead of Lando, because he was ahead of him on track. 

“Sಞo fair play to Fernando that he gained the position on track. But behind Fernando, it could hꦡave been the position for Lando to finish on. 

“So definitely the missed opportunity includes a🌳 pot🌄entially missed podium.” 

Stella confirmed that McLaren will review their communications, something Norris noted after the race✤, lamenting that “nothing was clear enough”.

“There was just different information. Nothing🔜 was clear enough,” Norris told Sky. 

“It’s up to us. At the time, you do the best that you can. It’s ha🅠rd enough to keep it on track in the first place. That’s the first challenge I’ve got to think of. 

“On the second lap when I was so easily overtaken by Perez, I was surpr𒀰ised that we stayed out. A lot goes through my head at that time!” 

The Briton added: “It’s c🌊lear we made the wrong deci෴sion, we made a bad decision, it’s something we’ll talk about and review. 

"We’ve made a couple this season, we’ve lost too many positions and too many points wi♕th a coupe of these things.”
