Lando Norris has stated there is "no excuse" for his underwhelming performance in sprint qualifying at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The British driver finished seventh in SQ1 and third in SQ2, yet still ended up fifth in the top-10 shootout, trailing team-mate Oscar Piastri by 0.133 seconds. Norris admitted, "I just don t think I put together a very good lap.

Norris expressed satisfaction with the solution but acknowledged his poor lap times, saying, "I didn t do a good enough job." Piastri, meanwhile, outqualified Norris for the third time in recent sessions, securing fourth place overall.
