Forced into the pits five times before retiring with a pneumatic issue on the McLaren, Lando Norris at least saw the extra pit-stop practice as a funny silver lining. F1 BahrainGP
Pitting five times before McLaren finally retired his car, Lando Norris says the biggest positive from the Bahrain Grand Prix is that his mechanics got a “lot of pit stop practice”.After a difficult time in pre-season testing, Norris qualified 11th for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, the Briton looking forward to fighting for points.Norris made a few positions off the line only to realise something wasn’t right with his MCL60.
“Good start, good launch, made up a few positions and then we had problems from Turn 1 basically – pneumatic problems and various other issues,” he told the media including PlanetF1.com.The driver, though, has no idea what the actual problem was. “I don’t know enough to be honest, better to ask Andrea [Stella],” he said. “I don’t know what it was affecting, gearbox, engine. I have no idea.Norris’ final stop was to park his car in the McLaren garage, the team eventually calling time on what was a trying Sunday with two laps to go.“I think the best thing is the mechanics did a lot of pit stop practices,” he said. “That’s the biggest positive.
“I think the pace was ok-ish and we could have scored a point today at least so a shame we had the problems we did.”
