Norris suffers shock early exit in Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying
Lando Norris’ F1 drivers’ championship hopes took a hit after a tough qualifying session at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, leaving him to start 17th on the grid in Baku. This is his first Q1 exit since the previous year’s Las Vegas race. Norris was looking promising until a yellow flag disrupted his final lap attempt in the last sector. Forced to lift due to Esteban Ocon’s slow Alpine, Norris couldn’t improve his position and had to settle for a low starting position on a track known for its overtaking opportunities. Despite the setback, Norris remains positive, focusing on the long race ahead and the competitive pace of his McLaren. Subscribe to our YouTube channel for a chance to win an F1 car!
