While pleasantly surprised to be in the pole hunt, Lando Norris felt the pain of missing out.
Lando Norris once more felt a pole position opportunity slipped through his fingers in Austin, though he expects the pack will be powerless to stop Max Verstappen in the United States Grand Prix.
“I’m pretty happy with today,” he told Sky F1 after qualifying. “Probably wasn’t expecting to be as quick as what we were, so it was a pleasant surprise for the whole team I think. “Still a good day for us. I’m happy. It’s a good position for Sunday, we’re in a nice way at the minute, nice rhythm, and if we can do the same tomorrow and Sunday, then it’ll be perfect.”
“It’s not going to be an easy one, Ferrari are very quick, Mercedes are very quick and especially on long runs they’re always very quick,” said Norris.
