Lando Norris has revealed why he decided to abort his final flying lap in the final moments of qualifying for F1’s Qatar GP.
Lando Norris decided to abort his final flying lap in qualifying for the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix due to understeer issues and feeling it was pointless to continue. Despite being noted for track limit infringements and feeling he could have improved, Norris placed second on the grid behind Oscar Piastri, who took pole position. If Norris wins the race, he could become World Champion, but if not, the fight will continue to Abu Dhabi. Norris mentioned feeling more comfortable in the car but faced understeer which hindered his performance. He had no fuel left to complete another lap, so he had to settle for second place. The Sprint race was uneventful with minimal overtaking opportunities, and Norris acknowledged the challenge of passing Piastri unless he makes a strong start.
