“It was pretty much a perfect lap,” said Norris after qualifying. “You know when you’re on a good lap when you’re getting excited, but the whole thing went perfectly in the end.
“So close, still, but super, super happy, one of… I think my best pole position. I’ve not had many, but out of the ones I’ve had, [this is] the best. We’ve been close all weekend, but really this was just about a perfect lap, and that’s what I did today.”

Pushed on the pace he and McLaren have displayed over the last couple of days, Norris continued: “It’s not just this weekend, we’ve been quick the last two months, since Miami we’ve been very strong. We probably missed out on a pole by just not doing a perfect lap, and today was the perfect lap.
“I would say Max and Red Bull seemed a little bit stronger all weekend than what we did, but we made some changes for the final run, I had some little places to improve and I did exactly that, so I’m super happy to be on pole.”
