F1 Test | McLaren, Norris: “Some problems slowed us down”

F1 tests – The second day of testing sees Lando Norris finish with the fourth best time in the standings, but it wasn't an easy Thursday for the McLaren. In the morning it is Oscar piastri to bring it to the track MCL38, continuing with aerodynamic tests and testing the car's set-up. Only thirty-five laps for him, who was forced to return to the pits during the red flag caused by a broken manhole.

Piastri: “Let's take steps forward”

“It was a shorter morning than expected, due to the red flag. In any case, the session still proved to be fruitful. We worked on various elements, and then concentrated on the set-up of the car. The pace seems good and we are making progress on the work programme."

Norris: “Some problems slowed us down”

It was also a complicated session for Norris, on track in the afternoon, who risked having to return to the pits permanently due to a fuel supply problem. The mechanics of the team Woking they managed to repair the problem, and Lando returns to the track, but without being able to carry out the race pace simulation.

“Another day of testing completed. There were some small issues that slowed us down, and we weren't able to complete our simulations, especially with a full load of fuel. There is still some work to do on the balance of the car, but we already have a lot of data available, which is a good sign. Let's focus on the last day's work."
