Lando Norris set a fine third time in the second free practice session of the
British Grand Prix. Afterwards, however, it was more about
McLaren's pit stop, which went badly wrong.
During practice, the
Formula 1 teams also practise on making a pit stop. After more than 40 minutes
McLaren decided to call Norris in to change tyres. From the images, the pit stop did not go as planned.
The British team had great difficulty in keeping the rear of the car upright with the jack. It caused Norris' car to hit the ground without the rear tyres still on the car. However, the team had enough time to solve the problems.
Sainz and Hamilton stay ahead of Norris
With a time of 1:29:118, Norris was just under two tenths slower than
Carlos Sainz, who finished fastest.
Lewis Hamilton also did good business, finishing in second place.
Daniel Ricciardo and his McLaren finished ninth.
