It’s a pivotal weekend in the F1 title race, with just three points between Piastri and Norris i🎉n the standings.
Speaki🎃ng after Friday practice in Barcelona, Rosberg suggestꦦed Piastri’s strong Friday display could disrupt Norris’ momentum.
“Yes b𒅌ut don’t underestimate the setback today with Piastri dominating like this in FP2 and putting in such a strong lap,” Rosberg said.
“That will play on his mind for the rest of the day because now he will be there studying the data and he will seꦺe how Oscar was so quick there, so quick there. That’s n𝓡ot an easy day for him.
“Let’s hope it doesn’t stop his momentum𝐆 which has been on the rise so much.”
Norris looking for “tiny” gains ahead of qualifying
Whi꧅le Piastri held the advantage in the second session, Norris topped the timesheets in the first.
Norris revealed that McLaren's ability to set up the car with a strꦯong baseline allowed them to “try a different direction.”
“A decent Friday. ⛦The car was better in FP1 than it was in FP2, but we were trying ⛦things out. We’ll keep trying to improve for tomorrow,” Norris said.
“It’s tiny things. I think something that we always do very good is a good baseline and find it difficult to improve from that point onwards which is a good thing, not a bad 🥂thing. It allows us to try a differe🎶nt direction, different things and try and get a bit of a feel.”
Piastri wary of “quick” competitors
Heading into the weekend, it was expected that Red Bull would be🧸 back in the mix for th🐼e win, given that the RB21 performs better in high-speed corners.
Assessing his Friday, Piastri said: “I mean it’s been a bit of an up and down day. Ending on an up which is good. Our competitors look quick. Verstappen’s been quick all da🅺y. Ferrari have been there. Mercedes popped up at the end. It's going to be a tight battle tomorrow I think. Definitely s♎till some things to try and work on.
“We expected Red Bull to be quick. That’s not a big surprise. Just 🉐trying to make the car a bit faster really that’s all.We’ve tried a few things today. We’re learning. It’s been a good day.”
