Norris left feeling frustrated: 'I don't know what to say, I screwed it up'
Lando Norris unlocked extra performance in the McLaren car during the third qualifying session in Imola. On the second run, Norris set purple times in sector one and two and could've qualified in P2 or P3 had that lap not been deleted.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the event, Norris was clearly annoyed with himself but felt encouraged by how the car performed.
"I feel disappointed and annoyed with myself. It was a very good day until then. The team did an awesome job, the car really came alive in qualifying after lots of improvements on Friday. That one lap where I don't need to make a mistake on...I screwed it all up," Norris said.
Norris will start from P7
"When you're in Q3, and you have the chance to score your best result in qualifying, you're pushing. When you're going at such a high speed, misjudging it by such a tiny amount is...yeah," Norris added.
"I'm happy, not with my job but with the team. We didn't start well this weekend, but we made improvements and found how to bring the car alive. We did a better job."
