168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris wasn’t surprised to see 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen claim pole for the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.

Verstappen endured 🙈a difficult sprint race in Qatar, finishing eighth.

The Dutchman’s lack of pace in the RB20 was so lacking that he wasn’t🍰 able to overtake Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg.

However, Verstappen came alive in qualifying for the grand prix, beating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to ta♛ke his first F1 pole position since🐻 the Austrian Grand Prix back in June.

Norris, who came second in the sprint race, looked like he was ♔going to be the favourite for pole heading into qualifying with McLaren excelling in the high-speed corners.

The British driver ultimately had to settle for third on the grid for Sund🍰🎃ay’s race.

After qualifying, Norris was asked by Sky Sport🌺s if he was shocked to see Verstappen on pole in Qatar.

Norris replied: “Not a surprise at all🦂. When have they ever been bad the whole season?

🀅“It was a surprise they were slow yesterday, not a surprise💜 they are quick today.”

It was a scrappy Q🌼3 performance from Norris, who didn’t put a lap on the board until the dying moments of the session.

Regardless, Norris felt ꦇMcLaren didn’t have the “same potential” as Red Bull or Mercedes in qualifying at th💟e Lusail International Circuit.

“I think so. I don't think we are as quite as quick aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs what they were to🀅day,” he said.

“I don't think I could have done the same lap times. 🐻As a Qualifying car, we a bit off and did not have the same potential of Red Bull and Mercedes.

“But I'm hoping it comes back to us in the race a little bit. Hard to know, it’s fine margins. But I'm ♉hoping tomorrow plays a bit into our hands again.”
