📻 Joseph: "OK mate, you're about to get free air, let's go." 📻 Norris: "I just don't know how much you want me to push, because it's opening up on the front left." 📻 Joseph: "The priority is getting to the plan A target lap." #F1 #CanadianGP

McLaren happy with Norris's pace despite his concerns about front left. Joseph says on the radio "keep going and this could become plan B." #F1 #CanadianGP

Norris has just been asked about plan B, which would be "target plus 15" according to Joseph (who did say "I think I know the answer") - would be a long old way to go! #F1 #CanadianGP
