Norris endured a messy qualifying session at Albert Park and took 13th in Q2 following slip-ups on his hotlaps, finishing three tenths off Williams's Alex Albon - who was the last driver to make the top 10 cut-off.
When Norris was asked by Autosport whether his mistakes were the result of a car that's inherently hard to drive or down to him to overdriving the MCL60 to chase performance that isn't there, Norris admitted it was a combination of the two. And he candidly shared that he hasn't found his groove yet with his 2023 machinery.
