‘It doesn’t make sense to me’ - Lando Norris confused by Canadian GP penalty
Norris crossed the line in ninth, just behind Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon, but dropped to 13th🍨 in the final classification.
The young British driver picked up a penalty after the stewards found that he had dropped too far back when coming into the pit lane under the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Safety Car.
Norris opened up a small gap to McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, 𒈔who pitted in front of him, to reduce the🌄 impact of double-stacking in the pit lane.
Speak𝐆ing about his penalty a🐻fterwards, Norris said: “It doesn’t make sense to me.
“I was three or fou🌺r se💮conds down… I’m quite surprised. The rest of the race I was very happy with. There were some fun overtakes.
“Everyone leaves gaps [in safety car period]. It’s not like I was 10 seconds down on my delta. If it’s a delta-difference, 🔴people should be given penalties for the last three or four years.”
Penalty aside, Norris drove a strong race, pulling off some impressive overtakes on Piastri and then 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas into the hairpin.
He nearly got past Ocon on the final lap as well.
“It was always about makin♕g the most of one opportunit🦂y I had,” he added.
“It was a struggle, nothing was easy. Tough race, still managed to fight through whi𒐪ch was nice.
“The pace was a bit better than the✱ last few weekends. Hopefully we can take some step forwards nꦦext time out.”
