Reflecting 🗹on his race in Melbourne, Norris was left to rue McLaren’s strategy choices.

“It was a very goo꧃d day for us,” Norris said. “I'm very happy and proud of the team as P3 and P4 are a lot of points in the𒁏 championship, so that's the first thing.

“We missed out on Ch♌arles, I think our pace was a little bit better. He undercut us in the first stint so maybe a little bit of hope for second place.

“I think our pace was strong enough today. B♋ut Ferrari and Carlos did a very good job, so hats off to the🀅m.

“They've been fa🍸st all weekend. I felt like I could manage the tyres very well today and that was a good step. [I] probably wasn't expecting to be on the podium so I'm very happy.”

The 24-year-old still feels that Ferrari and Red Bull are a “step” ahead even thoug꧒h he finished in close proximity to Leclerc.

“It's clear that this circuit suit🐷s us a little bit more, we’ve been able to p𝓰ush and unlock a little bit of speed,” he added.

“But it's still another step to Ferrari and to Red Bull. They’re on🦄e or two steps a🐈head of us still, so we need to catch up.

“But it's clear that we're getting closer and a day like today proves exactly thatไ.

“So a big thanks to all and McLaren. We're getting closer to our target. It's nice to be back on the podium again and hopefully we can ha😼ve many ♈more.”
