Revealed: Lando Norris’ bad start the fault of the driver or the car?
Technical bre🥀akdown of what wen🍌t wrong with Lando Norris' start

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ bad start at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix has been analysed to decipher wh♚o was at fault.
McLaren driver Norris losܫt his pole position immediately to Max Verstappen - but fought back to claim victory at Zandvoort.
He later blamed his bad start, which has bec❀ome an unwanted habit lately, on “wheel spin”.
Sky Sports’💞 Anthony Davidson analysed replays, and said: “Is it the car or the driver?
“The first thing that the driver needs to do is to g🦂et his foot on the right position on the throttle.
“That is decided by the strategy t🅘eam, the race start strategist who, after a few grid starts in practice, will decide where to set the clutch bite point a🥀nd the revs needed to get the car going.”
F𝓡1 drivers have lights on their dashboard to inform them if they have correctly met their car’s needs.
“The driver has to go by the lights in front of them,” Daviꦆdson said.
“The first tick for Lan༺do - he’s holding his foot in the right position, rea꧑dy to go.
“The next thing you have to do is drop 🌱the clutch half way. That’s decided by the data in the car.
“You’ve got to be systematic in where you d🐎rop that clutch.
“You then release the clutch further, a💫nd slowl🍷y start to squeeze the throttle pedal after 50-100m of distance.
“In that next phase, you pick up the wheel spin.
“Is that the clutch, in the se✅cond phase being too aggressive, or is it Lando being too gung-ho o♐n the throttle pedal?
“I look at who else is around the McLarens. I look at the two ♏McLarens and the distance between theꦰm.
“Does the gap get smaller or bigger between them? Both McLarens get a bad start but, if anything, Lando g𝐆ets a better start than Oscar Piastri who lost a position into the first corner.”
How can Norris improve?
Norris’ teammate Piastri suffered with a similarly below-par s𓃲tart to the Dutch Grand♎ Prix.
Sky Sports’ Bernie Collins reacted: “The syst💧ems engineers overnight will analyse the dat🌞a.
“They only൲ had one start in FP2 because FP1 and FP3 were wet.
“Maybe they’ve done a slightly worse job, maybe the drivers “🐬made a slight error.
Consistently we have seen that the combination have come together a🀅nd haven’t produced a𓆉 good start.”
Naomi Schiff added: “It’s not bein𒀰g꧑ easily resolved. It should, theoretically.
“If they’ve got enough data they should ꦜcome up with a quick ෴fix.
“But it’s not just the mechanicღal element. It’s the human elem🀅ent, as well.
“The second phase o🅠f the start is more human, releasing the clutch and getting on the throttle.
“You look at data, see where you’ve gone wrong, practice, spend more time in the sim practising starts. It’s work that you ca♍n do in the simulator.”
