Lando Norris says he was almost surprised to qualify second for Formula 1's United States Grand Prix, as he felt his McLaren was "impossible" to drive.
Norris endured a hairy moment in Q1 after aborting his opening lap in the session due to a scrappy opening sector, where he lost time in the first corner and then went wide on the exit of Turn 9. His follow-up run on the same tyres proved enough to progress through to the next stage, later booking himself another front-row start alongside Max Verstappen.
