168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris says McLaren’s 2024 F1 ca𝓀r loses “a significan📖t amount of time” in low-speed corners compared to the team’s rivals.

McLaren continued their strong start to the season as Norris claimed the final spot on the podium at the Australian Grand Prix behind Ferrari pair 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, while teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri finished fourth.

Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit played to the strengths of the MCL38 and Norris is hopeful that pe🐻rformance will translate over to next weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix at another high-speed venue, Suzuka.

But the Briton acknowledged McLaren still have to address their weakness if they are to become consistent podium chall🎐engers.

“If we look back to Suzuka last year, it w✅as on♕e of our best weekends: two cars on the podium, just the Red Bull ahead of us,” Norris said.

“I think it is clear that Red Bull are mayꦰbe two steps ahead of us and Fer⭕rari one step, but when you get to a track that suits us, then I think we can be confident.

“We are very strong in the high-speed corners, which is why we were good here [Melbourne], but ✃we lose a significant amount of time 🔯in the slow-speed corners.

“If we can improve on that just a little bit, then most weekends I would say I would be confident that we could compete for podiums and good poiཧnts.

“We are missing a few little things, but we are working and as soon as we do that, things will🅷 click.”

Team prinꦦcipal Andrea Stella also referenced McLaren’s low-speed weakness as he conceded Leclerc beat Norris on merit.

“Leclerc finished ahead of Lando because they have a faster car a🎃t the moment,” Stella said.

“The positive news i🧜s that this faster car is not faster by much a♕t all.

“We were very close, which I think is encouraging for Japan in which so🎐me of the characteristics that make Australia being good for us take another step further in having a higher rati🍨o of medium-high-speed [corners] compared to low-speed.”
