Lando Norris, MCL40’\u0131n dengesiz karakteri nedeniyle zorlu bir hafta sonu ge\u00e7irdi. Buna kar\u015f\u0131n Max Verstappen’in kazas\u0131 ve Kimi Antonelli’nin tekerlek hava y\u00f6nlendirme par\u00e7as\u0131n\u0131 k\u0131rmas\u0131 gibi geli\u015fmelerin yard\u0131m\u0131yla ana yar\u0131\u015f\u0131 d\u00f6rd\u00fcnc\u00fc s\u0131raya ta\u015f\u0131d\u0131; sprint yar\u0131\u015f\u0131nda ise beklenmedik bir \u00fc\u00e7\u00fcnc\u00fcl\u00fck elde etti.
