The F1 champion endured a “tricky first day” day on his return to action.
Lando Norris acknowledged a challenging return to F1 action, describing the first day as “tricky” and recognizing the need to catch up with his competitors. He struggled during the first practice session at Albert Park, finishing near the bottom of the timesheet due to a transmission control issue that limited his running to just seven laps. Despite initial setbacks, Norris showed improvement in FP2 after resolving the problem, focusing on gathering data and learning from his rivals’ performance. The McLaren driver aims to narrow the gap by putting in extra work before the next session, acknowledging the importance of track time under the new regulations. Looking ahead to FP3, Norris remains determined to make up lost ground and strive for a stronger performance in the upcoming races.
