Norris: McLaren quicker than Verstappen ‘at points’ of Qatar GP
know that there was so much more potential for us to achieve. It’s frustrating because I feel like I let the team down by not maximizing our performance in qualifying and the sprint race. However, looking at the bigger picture, it’s clear that McLaren has made significant progress and is now closer to Red Bull and Verstappen than before. We had the pace to challenge for victories, especially considering the mistakes the Mercedes drivers made and the strong performance of our MCL60 car. Overall, I’m happy for the team and for Oscar Piastri, and having two cars on the podium for the third time this season is a fantastic achievement. Despite the missed opportunities, this weekend has shown our potential and gives us confidence going forward.”
