Norris suggests there was ‘no chance’ of pole in Austin

Lando Norris described Qualifying for the United States Grand Prix as a "struggle" for McLaren, despite securing second place. After a strong showing in practice, Norris missed pole to Max Verstappen by nearly three tenths, with teammate Oscar Piastri qualifying sixth, highlighting a challenging day for the team. Norris suggested changing conditions or improved rivals contributed to their difficulties. Following a tough Sprint where both McLarens were eliminated on Lap 1, Norris expressed satisfaction with P2 but admitted pole was unattainable. He now looks forward to a clean start and a competitive Grand Prix, hoping to avoid further incidents.
