McLaren F1 boss Andrea Stella believes the FIA made a mistake with the yellow flag which ruined 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ qualifying at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Norris was forced to abandon his final lap in Q1 due to a slow-moving 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon.

Ocon had a puncture, and was dri♔ving around slowly as heꩲ recovered back into the pit lane.

On the approach 𒐪to Turn 16, on his final effort in Q1, the yꦕellow flag briefly appeared.

Norris was forced to lift off, ruini𓂃ng his lap, before running wide.

Unable to im♎prove, Norris was eliminated in Q2ಌ, leaving him 17th on the grid for Sunday’s race in Baku.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the session, Stella explained h💯is frustration with the flag situation.

“The bitter element is that the other car is at the back of the grid tomorrowℱ,” Stella said. “We will do our best to get back into the points, minimise the impact, but obviously that was a very unfortunate moment for Lando today.

“We we⭕re discussing now with the FIA as to why a yellow flag was displayed at that moment in time, which was extremely costly.”

Stella thinks the yellow flag which📖 disrupted Norris’ lap wasn’t “necessary”.

“The team didn't say it💃 because it was displayed last minute and we checked right now in our tools and it is actually displayed as a yel༺low, so we were in conversations with the FIA as to why that happened because the yellow flag isn't necessary when there's a car is just a slow car, it is not on a flying lap,” Stella explained.

"Everyone tried their best I'm sure, thiඣs time there was a situation that ideally, and I think by the regulations, shouldn't have happened. We paid the price but we don't give up.

"We move on, we will do our best tomorrow to get some good poin▨t꧋s."

The good news for McLaren is that their car is quick, confirmed by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s qualifying display.

Piastri secured second behind Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.
