168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has described McLaren’s dominant display at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday as “depressing for all” after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris stormed to an impressive F1 victory.

Norris claimed his second F1 victory by over 22 seconds, reducing Max Verstappen’s lead in the championship to 70 points wit⭕h nine rounds to go.

It was akin to Red Bull’s dominance from earlier in the seaso🔯n as Norris had a comfortable weekend.

After a poor qualifying display from Ferrari, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc 0.9s off pole posit🐟ion, while Sainz was out in Q2, the race proved to be surprisingly strong for the Italia🍸n outfit.

Leclerc fended off168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri to fini𒐪🌼sh on the podium and Sainz recovered to secure a top five finish.

Speaking after the race at Zandvoort, where w🌳ere in the paddock, Sainz pointed out that McLaren’s dominance must have been done to Norris delivering a “very solid weekend”.

“Yeah but at least it's depressing for🍎 all, not just for Ferrari,” he explained. “I guess at least we're not behind the Red B🐭ull....also Red Bull and Mercedes. We managed to pass a Red Bull today, actually caught up with a McLaren during the race.

“Lando must have done a really solid weekend. We have to give praise for that, Oscar is P4 so it's not like only McLaren was in a different l🍬eague, I think Lando must have done a very solid weekend.”

Ferrari’s woes since Monaco have be💫en cured with bouncing remaining an issue for them.

As🍃 a result, they’re forced to compromise with the car setup to ensure the bou🐲ncing doesn’t occur.

Sainz is hopeful upgrades comi𝔉ng in the next races will help era🌌dicate these problems.

“Not very compromised but a little bit,” he said. “I hope once we unlock or discover what is the actual thing ꦓthat is generating this porpoising, which I feel like we're a step behind in u🎃nderstanding that.

“Hopefully with this new floor or new upgrades that we'll bring soon, these problems go away and we can just focu♕s on adding🌠 downforce to the car.”
