The results of the F1 qualifiers: Lando Norris delivers the lap that he needs when he needed it more in the Austrian Grand Prix race

When the watch was beaten in the second part of the qualifiers in the Grand Prix in Formula 1, and the Q3 waved on the horizon on the ring, one could not feel that more than 12 minutes than the 2025 season so far on the horizon.

Lando Norris dominated, after the loss of FP1, as McLaren gave the young development driver Alex Dan an opportunity to escape in practice, on time papers during the next training sessions, as well as during both Q1 and Q2. But this was a scenario that the ring watched before this season, as Norris looked preferred to put the pole until smooth, slip, and the error in the Q3, opened the door for one of his competitors, and doors like Max Verstapen, George Russell and Oscartri were more than they wandered.

With this session, Q3, following Norris’s mistake in the closing action of the Canadian Canadian race, where the expected clash left the path with Piasstri Norris without a front wing, and outside the race, Q3 took additional importance to the McLaren driver.

This time, the door was closed.

Norris delivered the lap he needed when he needed more than others, as the center stormed the Austrian Grand Prix. While the non -time rotation of Pierre Gazley brought out a quickly yellow flag, which impeded the final payment rolls from both VersApet and PiaSSTRI, both drivers have admitted that it was almost impossible for the best Norris on this day.

When asked if it was a “perfect” roll at the press conference after the rehabilitation, Norris stated that he was the closest to him.

“It is always impossible to say, but the closest thing to ask him,” Norris started at the FIA ​​press conference. “As you know, in all places that I can be about to be in gravel or maximum, I feel that I was. So, it was a very good roll. I think I improved at every corner, especially here, with the high speed in the 6th floor and its role 7, 9 and 10, especially in Quali, you must abide, and it is exciting and nerve in a timely manner.

“So, yes, again, a reward when things go well as I did today. And put the windings that I did today, I was very happy. So, yes, it was enjoyable.

As always, Norris remains his harsh critics, until this afternoon. Self -reflection is a feature that he displays after each session, and this was not a different one. McLaren driver confirmed that the F1 season is a “long journey”, and that being a hero today will not make his season.

“I mean, it is very satisfactory, but again, it comes to consistency. Everyone can be a hero on one weekend,” Norris added. “It is ahead. It’s steps forward. I am very happy today, but it is still a long journey. It’s a long season.

However, Norris admitted that today’s result, along with his already performance this week, gives him confidence in the Austrian Grand Prix race on Sunday.

“I started in the best situation. But we were good since the first rolls I made in FP2. We were able to compete, and I was feeling confident and comfortable in the car,” Norris said. “We have made some promotions on the car this week, which is the first group of our appropriate promotions for the entire season. So, we have waited a great deal of time to apply, and from what I see today, it seems that we have definitely transferred us in the right direction – especially on the circle where there are no eight angles. So, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

“I am sure that we can still get a good race tomorrow, but it is a long journey and a lot of things can happen.”

However, it was a dominant performance. As I noticed F1, perhaps the most dominant season:

A lot of things can happen, but Saturday in Red Bull Range Norris, the ladder he needs, when he needed them more.

Will they prove a turning point in the Battle of the title of 2025?
