Lando Norris is not going to just hand sprint victory to Oscar Piastri at the Qatar Grand Prix.
Lando Norris is determined to go for victory in the sprint at the Qatar Grand Prix, despite starting from the second row. He believes it would be “stupid” not to aim for the win. McLaren’s dominance was disrupted by George Russell taking second place in the grid-setting session. Oscar Piastri secured pole position in the leading MCL39, but Norris, 24 points ahead in the F1 championship, is not backing down. Despite the challenges of overtaking on the track, Norris remains optimistic about his chances in the 19-lap race. He aims to secure at least a podium finish and potentially challenge George Russell at the start.
