Norris' 1:40 ish laps were comparable to the start of last years grand prix where cars ran similar times.
I look forward to seeing the complete set of laps and times from this morning to get an idea of the pace of the car. About the only thing we can tell is the minimum of how much faster we can be compared to the race average last year.
What would be interesting is the average difference between last years Testing Race simulations and the average race pace to see if that ratio can be applied to this years numbers, particularly when running tyres less than 5 laps old.
