Norris confesses he ‘messed up’ Qatar qualifying
Lando Norris expressed his frustration after a challenging day at the Lusail International Circuit, which resulted in him losing his P2 position on the grid. Despite being one of the fastest competitors in qualifying, Norris exceeded track limits in both of his attempts during Q3, causing the stewards to delete his lap times. Consequently, he will start the Qatar Grand Prix from 10th place, his lowest grid position since Miami. Norris acknowledged the team’s efforts but took responsibility for his mistake, admitting that he “messed it up.” Although there are still opportunities for McLaren to score points in the Sprint Shootout and sprint race, Norris struggled to focus on anything other than his disappointing qualifying performance.
