First-placed McLaren’s British driver Lando Norris celebrates on the podium after the Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne. AFPSHANGHAI — Early championship leader Lando Norris knows he will face a new series of challenges at this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix , including the first sprint race of the season.
It is a fast turnaround to China, where teams will have just 60 minutes of practice on Friday morning to fine-tune their set-ups before the afternoon’s sprint qualifying shootout. “I’m confident that when we go to China we can be very strong because we were strong there last year with not a very good car,” Norris said after his Melbourne victory.
“We only have a few days before we are in China so not sure how much we will be able to find and turn around,” said the Dutchman, who is seeking a fifth consecutive world title, a feat only previously achieved by Michael Schumacher.Now with Ferrari, Hamilton’s debut for the Italian team saw the seven-time world champion berate a car that was “a lot worse” than he thought it would be as he came home 10th.
Leclerc conceded: “We are disappointed but it’s good to know we’ll be back in the car in just a few days in China. It’s a continuous process of improvement.” Isack Hadjar was distraught after crashing his RB on the formation lap while Alpine’s Jack Doohan hit the wall on the first lap.
