Norris explains: "You can't really test on the soft tyre"

Lando Norris will be out on track during Wednesday afternoon, but this morning he was out watching his McLaren teammate power in the lap times. Fast times are not expected from the Woking-based team as they are not concerned with that.

"I'm excited. I feel the little difference on the car from this week to last week and I just want to drive again, rather than stand here and watch everyone else drive around the track," Norris told F1 TV.

The reporter hopes for fast laps from the Brit, but they will not come. "I don't think we'll do any racing runs. Today we are busy with aeroruns so we won't be doing any pushing runs, maybe we're doing that tomorrow or the day after. We've done a lot of running on the hard tyres so far so it'll be nice to get onto a more gripy tyre."
