Lando Norris has conceded that he “wasn’t very good today” after a disappointing F1 sprint race performance at the Chinese 🍃Grand Prix.

No🅰rris los💎t three positions on the opening lap of the sprint race after running wide at Turn 6.

It was an unusual mistake from Norr൲is, who ran onto the grass and took to the run-off.

Norris spent most of the race stuck behind Aston Martin’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll, running several seconds behind the Canadian.

He overtook Stroll with a couple of laps😼 to go and came a💙way with one point from the sprint race.

It’s been a disappointing weekend for Norris, who made mistakes on his two sprint q﷽ualify😼ing laps.

The sprint race result means that Norris’ lead at the top of the F1 drivers’ championship has been cut down to 🧸two points.

Speaking a🉐fter the sprint race in Shꩵanghai, Norris was honest about his poor performance.

“It [sprint qualifying] certainly didn’t help,” Norris said. “The furt💮her back you start the harder it is. I just had a bad first lap.

“I ran into the grass into Turn 6 and lost a co🅠uple of positions. Then it was difficult to do a lot.

“Quali didn’t help but I wa🍨sn’t very good today either.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris “more confident” for qualifying

🅰Even though McLaren were out-classed by Ferrari in the sprint segment of the weekend, both Norris and Oscar Piastri will fancy their chances of taking pole pos💯ition this afternoon.

The feeling is that McL♌aren underperformed in qualifying༒ because Piastri and Norris had the pace for pole position.

In Norris’ case, he made two errors, costing him a likely pole ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

Unsurprisingly,ꦚ Norris feels “a bit more confident” for qualifying - but described the feeling in the r🎶ace as “dreadful”.

“It’♏s another session, it’s qualifying, so I will be a bit more confident," Norris added.

“At ♓the minute, in the race, I just feel dreadful. A lot of work to do but it’s the way it is.”
