Lando Norris laughed at how bad Max Verstappen’s car was in F1 Singapore GP qualifying
The McLaren driver finished second behind Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz on a weekend Red Bull were unex🍷pectedly off the pace as they saw their unbeaten streak in 2023 come to an end.
Red Bull had won all 14 races this year prior to Singapore but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez were both dumped out of Q2 in what was a 𒆙horrible qualifying session.&nb🔯sp;
Despite their perfo♔rmance sওtruggles, Verstappen managed to salvage fifth in Sunday’s race, while Perez recovered to eighth.
Speaking in the post-race press conference, Norris revealed he and Verstappen had share💮d a laugh about Red Bull’s woes after qualifying.
“I don’t know what they struggled with but when I watched his [Verstappen’s] onboard yesterday I kind of laug😼hed because I've never seen a car that bad before,” Norris said.
“Max also laughed about it. We'll s🧸ee next weekend, I thin💖k they'll be back at the top.”
Norris argued👍 the season would have been much more exciting without Red Bull’s dominance.
“If Red Bull weren’t here I’d have🙈 had two race wins already,” he added.
“I think there's always been great battles for sometimes that best of the rest pack. Now the best of the res♚t is, I wouldn't say it's just us, I don’t Aston Martin are that🍌 far behind.
“They were at the beginning of the season very close but have dropped off. AlphaTauri were very quick this weekend, just did꧂n’t put it together when they needed to. So I think that’s great.
൩"Often if you didn't have the best team there - the best team always seems to dominate and take away the show from the rest of it.
"But if you took away Mercedes a few years ago and you take away Red Bull now, the battles for the rest of the positions have been incredible and many different winners every race or every seaဣson.
“And even for us this year, if we could compete a bit more against Red Bull, Mer💦cedes would have won, Ferrari would have won. We potentially could have won in Silverstone and Budapest.
“So yeah, I have dreamed a little bit but I'm sure they are going to be back on back on track 𒐪next weekend🐷.”
