In Miami, both McLaren drivers fell out of contention in the first part of qualifying. Lando Norris said he expected something like this result…
Lando Norris (16th): “In the second practice session on Friday, we showed a higher speed than we were capable of. We tried to squeeze the maximum out of the car, but what is is.
No, I’m not surprised by the result. We knew it wouldn’t be easy to qualify for the second part of qualifying, as it turned out.
Oscar Pistri (19th): “Difficulties haunt us all day long. Of course the third practice was not successful and in qualifying we simply didn’t have the pace. The results are very compact and putting everything together is very difficult. I think the problems in the heat only got worse, and now we need to find out what this is related to.
I wouldn’t say the car is difficult to drive, even though there is very little grip on this track, but the MCL60 just isn’t fast enough. The problem is exactly this. Let’s see what we can do to improve for tomorrow’s race.”
