Lando Norris says the outcome of the Qatar Grand Prix “just really sucks” for himself and his team.

The McLaren driver looked set to score some much needed big points for his team in Qatar, running P4 as the laps counted down.

While it was all but inevitable that he’d lose one place to the charging Red Bull of Sergio Perez, he crucially looked set to finish ahead of his closest rivals in the standings, both Ferrari drivers.

However, disaster struck with just 10 laps remaining, with Norris being one of many drivers to pick up a puncture, forcing him to pit and drop all the way down to P11.
