Lando Norris admits he's "pretty happy with the outcome" after qualifying in P8
- Tom Mason
It was a positive day for McLaren in qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix as Lando Norris came through in P8 and teammate Carlos Sainz in P7. McLaren are currently fourth in the constructors' standings, holding a 43 point advantage over Renault.
Norris is tenth in the drivers' standings and is involved in a real battle with a host of drivers to finish inside the top ten, just three points separate Sergio Perez in ninth and Nico Hulkenberg in thirteenth.
"I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I struggled this weekend in terms of just not having a great feeling in the car. Finished up P8 and I don't think it could have been much better than that with Carlos in P7," Norris said following the session.
"The team here in Mexico and the guys back at the factory have done a great job. Now we focus on tomorrow. My aim is for a good start and to have a clean race and try to grab some points."
