McLaren Lando Norris saw another major opportunity slip through his fingers in Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying.
Lando Norris believes McLaren were “easily quick enough” to take pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix, admitting he was “pretty gutted” to initially qualify a distant seventh.
However, McLaren’s session went badly wrong when Norris and team-mate Oscar Piastri were slow to take to the track in Q3 as a dramatic storm arrived.While Piastri slid off the track at Juncao and was classified 10th, having failed to register a representative lap time, Norris’s lap was 1.9 seconds slower than his Q2 effort, leaving him seventh. He will move up to sixth on the grid for Sunday’s race following George Russell’s two-place penalty for impeding.
“I look forward to tomorrow. The car is good. I don’t know if it’s going to be good in the wet or if it’s going to be wet or dry tomorrow, but in the dry we should be quick enough. A shame.”
