Formula 1 | McLaren, subdued free practice for Ricciardo and Norris

from Barcelona, ​​Spain

McLaren's day of free practice was certainly not full of satisfactions. Daniel Ricciardo finished in fifteenth position, with the Australian admitting without too many mincing words that a lot of work will have to be done in his part of the garage to find the performance that was apparently missing today. Then we have Lando Norris, last due to an error in the first part of PL2; ruined bottom and session over for the Briton, who didn't appear in great shape anyway.

“Let's chew bitter – admits Ricciardo. We tried different settings in the two sessions, but we are not where we want to be. I think we will find the ideal set-up tomorrow and I hope this will put us in a position to reach the top ten. It's been interesting to see the work of others and there's still a lot to learn, so I don't think looking at today's times is ideal. Let's focus on ourselves, because today everyone was discovering the effects of the updates on the single-seaters."

“It was a difficult day for me – Norris said. There are some positives to take into account after the updates and some things worked well, but I made a mistake in the second session and this forced me to return to the pits for the rest of the day, there was some significant damage to the floor . However, I am confident because the car seems to be in quite good shape."
