Lando Norris says McLaren suffered their “worst Friday” season of formula 1 formula 1 and expects to fight Mercedes for the position of field at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Norris was only 0.028s behind Pace-Seter George Russell in the second practice, but set the best time after three flying circles on the soft tire.
The leader of the Oscar Piastri championship was only six and 0.439s to Russell, which used medium tires.
“We have to get a car in a better place. It’s hard. It was our worst Friday for so far, perhaps the worst of tempo, but it is the most difficult to compose and the most difficult ones.
“I’m not milny, but we have to do some easier rides. It’s still in good position. Mercedes now look very fast, they were quite easily here. They were pretty easily here.
“We expected they were fast, they proved that Friday. But I’m sorry I’m not fast. We’re still there or there. We’re not the fastest one in the minute.” We are not the fastest. “
