Lando Norris has batted off suggestions McLaren are getting “complacent” following their second defeat to Red Bull in F1 2025.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen clinched his second victor💙y of the 2025 F1 season, winning the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Verstappen controlled the race from the front after snatching the lead away from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

The four-time F1 world champion pulled ꦍoff an impr🎃essive overtake on the outside of Piastri into Turn 1.

Verstappen opened up a three-second lead over Pia꧑stri before McLaren converted the F1 championship l📖eader to a two-stop strategy.

With the Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car periods playing into Verstappen’s hands, he꧅ claimed a comfortable victory.

Norris capitalised on these caution periods to beat Pias൩tri for the first time since Japa⛦n.

Reflecting on the race, Norris felt Red Bull🐬 simply had the superior package.

“Oscar put in a very good lap to get pole, [but] on average Max 🧔was quicker and it just turned out that this track, with the degradation of this track,🧔 therefore suited them,” Norris said.

“We had a bit more rear degradation rather than overheating and things like that, it was more just rear deಌg and that seems to be where the Red Bull is still very, very strong in these slow speed corners.

“We know that, we’ve said it the whole year. We aren’t getting complacent because we know h🍒ow good they can be at times when things click and when they get it right, they’re ahead, and that’s the way it was today.

“We just have to keep working, nothing more to say than that. We need to keep our heads down, working on ourselves and🌜 keep doing what we’re doing.”

McLaren struggle with tyre degradation

The main strength of the MCL39 so far this ♑season ha꧒s been how it’s been able to look after its tyres.

However, 𒁃this was a major weakness for Norris and Piastri relative to Verstappen on Sunday.

“Tough race, long race,” Norris explaine﷽d. “[It] kind of goes away from you and then it comes back, just a bit of a race of patience today, which is always hard to prepare for, but I think we did a good job with the strategy going long in the first stint.

“I think the only downside is we didn’t have the pace to the Red Bull. They were very quick, Max was very quick today, and not only did we struggle on pace butꦍ I think we also struggled with the degradation of things too.

“What was our big෴gest strength two weekends ago turned into not being good enough this weekend, so it shows how quickly things can change. But I think we’re happy otherwise, it’s still a good team result and that’s the main thing.”

N💃orris sits 13 points behind Piastri ahead of this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.
