Lando Norris has revealed he feels it could be “hard” trying to extract the performance he wants from his McLaren, despite a strong Hungarian GP Friday.<\/p>\n
Norris topped both FP1 and FP2 ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri in second, becoming just the third driver this season to complete the Friday sweep – after Piastri at Imola and Charles Leclerc in Monaco.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neither of those two drivers went on to win those respective races, but it was not smooth sailing for Norris, who had a big moment at the final corner in FP2, losing control and nearly spinning after dipping a wheel into the grass.<\/p>\n
He then narrowly avoided an embarrassing crash into Piastri on the pit exit, as he detailed a mixed day where he was strong but had several mistakes.<\/p>\n
“The car since the first lap [has felt] pretty good, and all my laps have been decent,” Norris explained.<\/p>\n
“But I think you should dismiss this session, and it was a little bit messier, on low-fuel, high-fuel, there were a few more mistakes.<\/p>\n
“But it is all part of practice and trying to find the limits in different areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I know what I want from the car, but it might be a bit harder trying to get it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris has revealed he feels it could be “hard” trying to extract the performance he wants from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-38814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
