168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris is unsure whether McLaren’s sizeable F1 upgrade package for this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix is working or not after the first day of 🍨running at Zandvoort.

McLaren have introduced a significant update on their car for this weekend’s race - their first since Miami - as they look to close in on Red Bull in the constructors’🐲 championship.

McLaren sit just 42 points behind Red Bull - and arguably a𝔉re the favourites to🐈 take the title given Sergio Perez’s stuttering performances.

It’s still early days though 🦄for McLaren and understanding their new upgrade package.

Speaking to F1TV after the session, Norris feels McLaren don𝓡't have the quickest car out there.

“Probably not, Mercedes are quite quick - it’s close,” he said. “I don’t think there is a quickest, it just depe🃏nds on di♈fferent factors.

“We’ve been in good form since Miami, but we’ve not really brought any updates since Miami, this weekend’s our fir💫st time trying to 🎐make a bit more progress with the car.

“So optimistic, but I have no idea if it’s working or not or how it’s performing at the minute, but today was a reasonable day and we’re there or thereabouts. So a little bit more to find over🌠night hopefully and we can challenge♉ the Mercedes."

Norris ended FP2 fourth-fastest overall, just over 0.2s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s pace.

It was tight at the top though with the battle for pole looking to be between the McLarens, Mercedes pair and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Norris🍬 is eyeing “a bit of progress” before being a true contend𝓀er to take pole on Saturday.

“Pretty good. Nice to be back i🔥n the car, I think Zandvoort’s a tough one to come back to straight away, just because it’s quick - it’s up and down, it’s twisty, a bit of everything,” he added.

“So a nice first day back in the car but a bit of progress needs to be ♋made before tomor♊row.”
