Turn 4 has been a tricky corner so far in testing, and Lando Norris had the same experience just now. Luckily for the Briton, he survived a major moment there on Day 3.

Over the course of the morning session, Lando Norris began a push lap with roughly two hours and twenty minutes to go on the C3 tyres. However, exiting Turn 4, the Briton had a snap of oversteer and went wide. He managed to avoid the wall, making McLaren's day a lot easier.
