'To give you a piece of advice you haven't asked for...'
Lando Norris is never a driver to mask any shortcomings, but ex-Formula 1 racer Martin Brundle advised his compatriot not to be so hard on himself.
And that one-lap shootout did not go the way Norris wanted, after he managed only the seventh-fastest time, resulting in P6 on the grid after George Russell’s two-place grid drop for impeding was factored in.Norris showed what he was capable of over one lap by taking pole for the Brazilian GP sprint in his McLaren, though it did not cushion the blow of qualifying too much, Norris describing the single-lap performance as his “kryptonite” currently.
Asked by Sky F1 whether he felt happier for claiming sprint pole, or rather now more frustrated over what could have been in qualifying, Norris replied: “Of course, there’s the hindsight of what could have been yesterday.“And just with myself, there’s been a lot of ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda,’ but I know it and I’ve accepted it.
“You’re always just wanting to improve and definitely when we have a car which is obviously competitive to be on pole and fight for great positions, of course I’m going to be disappointed and annoyed with myself when I make mistakes.“So it’s, I think, completely correct disappointment in my eyes. Of course I kick myself, but I try and improve and I do a better job and that’s what I’ve done today.”
