Lando Norris admitted that making “too many mistakes” on his final qualifying lap at the Spanish Grand Prix led to him losing pole position to his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. Despite initially being on provisional pole after the first Q3 runs, Norris mentioned that he made two key errors on his last Q3 tour, affecting the cleanliness of his lap and costing him crucial time, resulting in Piastri clinching pole by 0.209s. Norris acknowledged the challenges of maintaining tire grip in the hot conditions of the race weekend, stating that qualifying struggles often carry over to the race. Despite being disappointed with missing out on pole, Norris remained positive, emphasizing that the speed was there and his progress in qualifying was evident. He attributed his second-place finish to catching up nicely during the qualifying session and recognized the areas where he could have been tidier to secure a stronger result at the Spanish Grand Prix.
