Lando Norris closing in on unwanted F1 record and fears McLaren have missed "best chance" of win

The McLaren driver claimed his fourth consecutive podium with a second-place finish at the United States Grand Prix - following168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification♎ - to take his rostrum career total to 12.𓆉
That has placed him just one behind former BMW driver Heidfeld, w💎ho finished in runner-up spot eight times throughout his career and holds the undesirable record for most podiums without standing on the top step.
McLaren’s impressive development in 2023 has enabౠled Norris to rack up six podiums so far this ye✨ar, though a first victory continues to evade the 23-year-old Briton.
Norris admitted after Sunday’s race in Aust🍬in that he fears McLaren have missed 🔴their “best chance” of winning a race this season.

"Do I think our best chances have gone? I would say yes," Norris said. "I think Qatar was our best chance of winning a race. A♈nd I 🦩missed out on that one.
"I don't want to say no, I🤪 don't say like never. I think there's no super high speed, Suzuka-style, Qatar-style circuits left which is where we'rᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe strong.
“I don't think they're any good ones for us coming up. I think ou🅷r best have gone.
"I just want to be hopeful that we can do good results and I think we can still fight for podiums but these guys a💎re too quick for me.”
Norris added: "If you looked at the GPS overlays of 🐻how bad we are in the slow speed [areas], I'm not looking forward to Brazil.
"I think we're going to be pretty shocking there. Vegas and Abu Dhabi are probably the better one🅷s."
Norris currently sits sixth in𒀰 the drivers championship with four races to go, while McLaren h𒀰ave leapfrogged Aston Martin into fourth place in the constructors’ standings.
