Sunday, 1 December 2024
Lando Norris will be hoping to clinch the runner-up spot in the World Drivers' Championship by winning the
Qatar Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The McLaren driver failed to secure a podium spot at the Las Vegas Prix Grand on 23 November, the most recent race in the 2024 Formula One World Championship season.
Norris started on the sixth grid and went on to finish sixth in a competitive race held at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit and he accumulated nine points.
Formula One title ambitions
The three-time Formula One Grands Prix winner is placed second on the World Drivers' Championship standings having collected 340 points.
Norris is 21 points clear of second-placed Charles Leclerc of Ferrari with Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen having won this season's Formula One world title.
Why Norris could win the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix
The British-Belgian star knows that he will clinch the World Drivers' Championship runners-up spot if he wins the Qatar Grand Prix having finished third in last year's race in Lusail.
Norris also won the last Formula One race to be held in Asia in the current season as he was crowned champion at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix on 22 September.
What did he say?
“Firstly, big congratulations to Max on winning the Drivers’ Championship, he deserved it. He drove better than everyone over the course of the year, and rarely makes a mistake," Norris said after the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
"So congrats to him for delivering once again. As for today, it was a reasonable race but we didn’t have any pace in the car, and experienced difficult, challenging conditions. It’s just not been our weekend, we struggled a lot.
"Clearly we have a lot of things we need to improve on the car for the future. We'll now turn our attention to next weekend and coming back stronger in Qatar, a circuit that should suit our car better than Vegas. All our focus is on these last two races.”
