Norris frustrated after missed opportunities in Qatar
Lando Norris believes he had the opportunity to challenge Max Verstappen for pole position and victory in both races at the Qatar Grand Prix, but is frustrated with his performance. McLaren’s strong performance in Qatar resulted in a significant number of points and a reduced gap to Aston Martin in the constructors’ championship. Norris finished third in both races, but his final lap in the Sprint Shootout went wide and he had to recover from 10th after his two laps in Q3 were deleted due to track limit violations. He feels that he should have fought for pole positions and victories in both races and sees it as a missed opportunity. Despite his frustration, Norris is still happy with his third-place finishes. Norris also questioned team orders imposed during the race, but acknowledged that Oscar Piastri deserved to finish ahead due to making fewer mistakes and performing well.
