Lando Norris: I'm not surprised that I lost the lead.

      Oscar Piastri won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and for the first time in his career became the leader of the personal standings. His McLaren team-mate Lando Norris, who was in first place in the championship after the first race of the season, is not surprised that he lost the lead.

      "I'm not surprised that this happened, given all the mistakes I've made in the last few qualifiers,– Lando said after finishing the race in Jeddah. – I am quite happy with the way I perform on Sundays, as I show good results. I have confidence and pace. I feel like I'm showing my best qualities every minute of the race.

      But I make life very difficult for myself on Saturdays. I have to work on myself to improve my qualifications. But because Saturdays are like this, I get more interesting races.

      In Jeddah, it wasn't enough for me to get on the podium. If I can improve on Saturday, I'm sure I'll be back in position where I should be."
