NIGHTMARE FOR NORRIS

'Slow' Brit starts sixth as Piastri takes pole
MISERABLE Lando Norris declared himself “not quick enough" after a dismal qualifying was punished by title chasing team-mate Oscar Piastri.
McLaren dominated practice and were overwhelming favourites heading into qualifying despite their poor past record in Bahrain.
Piastri delivered their first ever pole position in the Gulf country, delighting the Crown Prince Salman who owns the McLaren Group through Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund.
Their joy was tempered, though, by a mistake from Norris which left him sixth on the grid and in a horrible mood.
"I'm just not quick enough," he said.
"I've been slow this whole weekend - I've just been off it. I feel like I've just never driven a Formula 1 car before.
"I'm struggling a lot, I don't know why and I need to find some answers."
