Despite this, he managed to outpace Max Verstappen by just 0.061 seconds in the final segment to set the fastest lap of the session. This performance was a significant improvement from Friday’s qualifying session, where Norris finished in seventh place while Verstappen secured pole position for the main Grand Prix on Sunday.
