Speaking after th♌e sprint race, Norris described the Qatar weekend as “frustrating”.

“I should have at least had a good chance to go for it yesterday against Max but I just made too many mistakes which have cost me, cost me positions today♓, now I have to start P10 tomorrow when we have a good enough car to finish in the top three easily. So I’ve just made my life tough, the team’s life tough when it should be the complete opposite and we should be going from the front.”
