Draw prediction Lando Norris: I hope McLaren can return to fight in the race
Blog of draw predictions
Norris acknowledged a lack of qualifying speed. The McLaren driver noted that he did not see the opportunity to compete for pole in qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix, since Max Verstappen in Red Bull and George Russell in Mercedes were too fast.
At the same time, Lando hopes that he will have a chance to win back in the race and still expects to win.
Red Bull`s pace did not come as a surprise. When have they ever looked weak this season? The surprise was that they were slow yesterday rather than that they were fast today.
Can I compete for victory? I think yes. At the same time, it doesn`t seem to me that today we were as fast as Red Bull. I don`t think I would have been able to complete a lap in that time.
If we talk about qualifying speed, we are a little behind; in this sense, our car does not have the same potential as Red Bull and Mercedes.
But I hope we can get back into contention in the race. Although it is difficult to judge, the gaps are quite small. But I hope that tomorrow everything will work out in our favor. We will try to earn as many points as possible, " Norris said.
McLaren missed out on pole in Qatar, Red Bull turned the weekend around
