Lando Norris has promised to ‘give it his all’ to beat Max Verstappen in the sprint race on Saturday after the McLaren star pipped the reigning world champion to P1 in the sprint shootout.
Norris finished the third section of the sprint shootout less than a tenth of a second ahead of Verstappen, while Sergio Perez, who had gone fastest through the first sector, slotted into P3.
There was less to celebrate on the other side of the McLaren garage as Oscar Piastri could only manage a P10 finish in the shootout, finishing just under six-tenths of a second behind his team-mate.
After taking the chequered flag to confirm the sprint race pole, Norris sounded extremely confused over the team radio, claiming that his lap “felt so bad”.
